STYLE Lush, unhurried ambient downtempo. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor Oxycanta 2 is an elegant selection of meandering electronic moods that hang in the air like the lightest hint of frost. Gently heaving synths and environmental wavs ebb and flow against beats that are mostly minimal, stripped down to bare skeletons evocative of the season under investigation. There are some beautiful passages - notably Fläktsystem from Amos with delicate haunting piano melody and glitchy beat. The tempo shifts up a gear around the middle of the album as Malik Trey introduces a leisurely trance rhythm that is echoed by Aes Dana and Sgnl_fltr before dropping away again in the concluding pieces. Two brief interludes are included from Mahiane herself - fleeting atmospheric sound installations that enhance the loosely structured approach of much of the music. ARTWORK A delightful digipack presentation with the usual panoramic three panel spread both inside and outside. The outer imagery captures threads and filaments, leaf structures and stems of some grey/brown flora caught in the pale light of winter - details picked out in narrow macro depth of field. Titles and times of tracks are on the rear and a reminder is found on the third section as to whence the album title finds its inspiration. Within hoar frosted seed heads form the main visual attractions. Panel one extends the tracklist to include some credits, contacts details and label information below. Panel two holds the CD. Panel three holds a simple line of thanks. OVERALL Ultimae Records never fail to amaze with the quality of their releases, [Oxycanta] Winter Blooms being no exception. Mahiane (aka Sunbeam, co-manager of Ultimae, Dj and composer) has gathered here a powerfully harmonious selection of tracks to build a delicious downbeat seasonal mood. Some big names grace the album with their presence, but Winter Blooms is in no way dependent upon these favourites to accomplish its goal - each track is carefully chosen for the overall tone of the project and carries sufficient evocative weight on its own. This is a CD that deepens with each hearing and will certainly reward the active listener in this regard. Brimming with a restrained emotive richness - this is an album for chillout fans that are looking for something truly chilled. |
