Vines And Streams - дебютный альбом Welder, который комбинирует ломанные ритмы с городскими и мировыми ароматами. Welder-а сравнивают с Moby и The Orb и по некоторым мнениям он привносит новые элементы в электронную музыку. Это тот самый случай, когда, чем больше Вы будете слушать альбом, тем больше будете в него влюбляться. Vines And Stream by Welder who is also know for his House and breaks project "Eskmo" has hit me like a whiff of fresh spring breeze. The album is all about Welder’s unique fusion of world music with downtempo breaks and freestyle electronica with generous doses of psychedelia, somewhat in similar vein to albums by artists like "Flexitones" or "Deviant Electronics". The first track "Rain" is a steadfast one with a nice groovy bass with tinkering bell sounds along with a rolling drum beat that sets the mood for rest of the album. Next track "Ants Are Small" has bought about the biggest smiles I have ever seen when I am playing, the playful orchestral sounds that keep evolving along with phat beats and some squeaky bits splattered across, a sure winner. "Purple And Orange" kicks off with a oriental gong and some Chinese instrument with lots of dirty turntable sample loops mapped onto acoustic guitar riffs with a very mystical vocal sample mentioning something about some floating object that bursts into a purple and orange aura, another winner. "Crosshatch" changes the direction to a more broken beat oriented style and once again its the groove that gets you hooked almost instantly. Next track "Valeez" has a very glitchy hiphop beat with lots of multilayered percussion. "In The Park" has a industrial and urban feel with a somewhat darkish atmosphere somewhat similar to sounds by artists like "Moby" or "Enigma", a great track anyways. Nearing the end Welder chooses to give us laid back breaks along with serene and mild atmospheres with "Find You Here". I just don’t believe the quality of sounds on this album, we are half way through and each and every track till now is just pure auditory bliss. lets see what follows. "Shiva" as the name suggests is a very ethnic influenced track with broken beats that are intertwined with the Indian instrument called sitar. "Distance" maintains the ethnic effort and has a wide range of instruments like tablas, sheenai etc, another lush and exotic world beat influenced track. Continuing further we stumble upon "Isle Of Skye" that has a gritty and industrial sound that blends into a melancholic but melodic vibe. The last track "The Heart" has lots of layers with a guitar loop that dominates, not a favourite but I can’t really make up my mind. Welder is one of the best surprises of 2006, I am simply loving this album. This is an astounding effort for a debut with excellent production quality. All the sounds are playful, organic, very uplifting and danceable. ~ by blueorb |
