Artist:
Terra Nine
Title:
Lucid Dreaming
Label:
Altar Records
Released:
12th August
Hot
on the heels of the recent Karune E.P. New Zealands Mike Westcot
delivers 3 new tracks comprising his unique blend of electric viola,
lush ambient soundscapes, breaks and trance.
The
opening track 'Field of Wishes' is an eerie journey through
atmospheric down-tempo electronics and lush viola that could easily
slot into the background of any sci-fi flick. While the title track
'Lucid Dreaming' has a heavier breakbeat undertone the lush strings
of the over-layered viola maintain the dream like quality that the
title suggests. The E.P. closes with 'Positive Vibrations' a
collaboration with Transient Dreams and going by the title you could
be forgiven for expecting a reggae dub fusion. The reality is a slice
of glitchy psybient for the viola to spring off and soar.
Overall
this release didn't leave as deep an impression on me as the Karuna
E.P. However, saying that it's not a bad E.P. and very reasonably
priced. As always Mike delivers a dream-like quality that appeals to
me which you certainly find in this release.
