Elephantsound is essentially a breakbeat/dub album of high quality. What sets it apart from the rest of the breakbeat morass is the mix of 60's psychedelic influences (Moog keyboards feature on a number of tracks) and the use of Indian musical instruments / samples, perticularly percussion.
Furthermore, the track styles are quite varied - slow-tempo stoners (Mission To The Moog), vocal dance (66 Meters, Dog In The Piano) and outright madness (an acid breakbeat cover of Sunshine Of Your Love, originally by Cream).
Whilst this may sound bizzarre, the end product is a bouncy, fun album which can easily withstand repeated listening thanks to the depth and quality of the music. Elephantsound easily bears comparison with class albums such as Instinct For Detection (Lionrock) and is highly recommended.
