Archealogy has a great track called ‘walking the dreampath’ which encourages the listener to remember and follow their dreams. It is at once abstract and inspiring. Lines like “walking the dreampath tramples fears and diminishes the cage” are evocative of otherness and shamen – like states of mind. In contrast “what’s the Mish” (in actuality a cover of the theme from mission impossible) is ‘cooky’ and ‘nutzo’ with a vocal akin to William Burroughs after too much bad ice.
Here Benthe makes the Plastic fantastic (i.e. samples and synthetic sounds used in an organic way) and on tracks such as ‘Heart’, ‘Shine On’ ‘Leaving Limbo’ and ‘Free of me’ technology and human grooves are blended making archeaology a garden of diverse sounds and styles.
