Cool Sound front cover

File under experimental remix and sampledelia !
The first three tracks feature polished slick beats and sonic sampled key parts with raw punchy bass and vocal samples triggered on the fly. Very sleek. The album gets progressively more experimental, sampled double basses speed up and are played like plucked violins and banjos. Instruments made elastic enough to almost be able to sit up an speak pidgeon english to you. It gets that unusual. It is not without it’s danceable numbers thou. Unpredictable is the keyword here.
‘It’s an out-there jungle’ is a great track. South american flavoured piano comping and bongos with warped jungle creature mating calls and 60’s buff bass and an unexpected piece of wailing psychedelic Syd Barrett cum Captain Beefheart bottlenecked roary feedback guitar.”Cheech and chong discover sampling” and ‘It’s It’s own creature’ are pure’ unadulterated sampledelia. While the melatron like keys of ‘a strawberry feels forever’ is more structured and spoofish. The tweeked modulating echo-delayed saxophone of Cool Sound’s Emi Oki is a redeeming feature of this CD’s sound. ‘Keep looking for signs’ is an interesting melodic filmic chill-out space adventure, and the closing track; ‘New World Order’ is a lament for the death of the worlds thinking peoples legislative rights denoted by the saddest harmonica you’ll ever hear. Unprecedentedly happening music.
