Various - Dissolving Clouds

It’s like something that changes the world, at least for the people who listen to it. Just imagine, when many people are introduced to this compilation, how the universe and reality are affected. Every track is fantastic. They are not some kind of good, or so-so, or even very great! Every track is at least masterpiece and unique masterpiece.

1.Eat Static - ufo Over Trenchtown
Everything starts from the beginning. Who thought Eat Static could make only some great Goa, Psy or even Break music, were totally wrong. What is the connection between Reggae and ufo? I know there are many common issues, but just try to express it
better then Eat Static! “ufo Over Trenchtown” starts to prepare you for the trip, like marijuana in the very beginning. So let’s go now…

2. Gaudi vs. Tripswitch – Subdown
These two artists are fantastic separately and just imagine what they could do together. The result is that you are high and starting to notice some strange things. You know how it is, like you speak, speak and suddenly you realize everybody’s silent. What was that? Something appears for a second. Where.. Did you do that? What? Wait.. omg!! But still you are human, just high, but everything is waiting for you! When the song going silent in the end you know it will happen. Coming..

3. Kaya Project - Raag To Ragga
And it came! This sound, is it holophonic or something makes you understand where you are. Sure, peak is not here yet but this is the moment when there’s no way back. Now you cannot sleep if you want, because you are not alone and “you” is not controller by “you”. You are woman, who sings in your somewhere. Drums are played, sitars are weeping, polyphonic songs are being sang and ninjas are flying.. in your head! And the violin! If you have any negative feelings, better leave everything there, while you can still understand world and can hear violin sounds. Otherwise you may be frightened such that smell shit. Your shit!

4. Alex Theory - Voodoo Dub
Haha, you thought you are taken to mental hospital? No, dear! It was the first wave only, so now have a little rest. No grass any more, no water but feel the lightness, understand that the best you can do is to be kind and positive. If you cannot, listen to this little track, feel better and follow me. Let that woman sing, she’s so nice.

5. Liquid Stranger - Liquid Stranger On The Run (7:31)
Look! Did you think there was only chilly or Reggae? Everything together! Hush, wait.. what is this sound? It’s shit, f@#k me. Buhahaha! Looks like that woman is a man, gay and not in your head but he’s not in this reality at all, hah. What the hell, do you want reality and mummy? Red Pill you punk!

6. Legion Of Green Men - Blowbaq
You are lucky it was Cubensis and only 2 grams, or if it have been Mexicana 3-4 grams you would not have been such “normally”! If you wonder how you would feel with that, listen to Ambient Systems volumes better. This creepy sound is clock ticking, of your biological clock. Did you think it was only hormones, neurons and enzymes? No! There’s real clock in your head with arrows that scratch you brain curves. So this was the sound. But it’s not showing correct time. Don’t worry; there green men will correct it, or whole legion of green men! That’s ok. Stop, he may die. That’s it!

7. Eiji - Digimunk
With correct time you understand how the universe looks like, but even this is not most important. I mean when you maybe know something, maybe not, or both. This knowledge has colors and you can touch it. Try out hard, maybe you can recall. Ah, not hard, but softly, calm down, breath calmly. Go over Makyo, watch Dakini, that’s it! Know why you have done this ;)

8. Peyote Sound System - Aqua Dub (6:38)
So, when everything is changed and now we know what and how, let’s taste sweat of everything. The peak has already gone and you know, right now you can’t go back to it! It exists only in the past and only memories remain. By the way, have you noticed you’ve been walking on the wall for quite long time? And what color is your favorite pattern? Blue? Let it be blue. Now when you know great secret let it be any color you want.

9. Mauxuam - Ulezak (8:37)
You are still there, but minute by minute you are noticing reality pressing you weak perception. Slowly you are coming back to your body. But no! Let’s sit down and listen to the music, it will take you back. Now you understand what you were and you won’t be the same anymore and the point is quite different then you thought it was.

10. Erik The Viking vs. Odo - It's Not A Buddha (7:42)
No, this is not a Buddha for sure! Buddha??! Have you recalled? Flashbacks will be part of your life from now :) And when you think you understood and remember everything, it’s not like that. Now stop trying, hangover (or what it is called here) is starting, 5 hours passed and dance will be great activity. Let’s stop thinking, maybe will go back for several minutes. Is this man or woman? Who cares, fantastic rhythm!

11. Lunchbox - Jellyfish Roll
Dutch, Danish, Norwegian? What the sense? It’s Georgian, do you believe?! Fantastic, but now we are back. It’s difficult to get back to the flesh but not to the club asap, to stop thinking and hide in the dance, let brain rest and let the body to get tired, off and sleep. We have a fight ahead. Fight for the sleep! We must defeat light! Have more grass, maybe xtz but.. Jah will help anyway!

Welcome back!

Interchill Records in Canada keeps pushing out high quality chill out music, with one masterpiece after the other. They usually have a lot of unknown names on their compilations, mixed with some big stars, and they sure knows how to pick out the right tracks for their chilled journeys. Here they are out with another compilation, compiled by Andrew Ross Collins and Nick Edell.

As usual we get a very interesting track list here, this time starting with a pioneer in the electronic music scene, Eat Static. Here with a really funny, but cool and relaxed dub track. Spaced out as usual from Eat Static. We also get some interesting collaborations here, such as Gaudi and Tripswitch. They give us a deep track, with chilling echoing effects, deep bass and mystical vibes. Nice one. Kaya Project who has released two albums on Interchill, gives us a taste of his latest album Elixir. One of the best tracks from the album in my opinion. We also get some new, fresh artists to the Interchill family, such as Alex Theory who brings us right to India with Indian vocals and tabla rhythms. My favourite track on this compilation, including a vocal you will sure notice and remember long after. Nice and different. Eiji is another fresh name who gives us an experimental track with organic vibes. Liquid Stranger is a side project of one half of the trance duo Necton, here with some sort of happy dub track. Legion Of Green Men has been around for a long time allready, giving us a jazzy drum ’n’ bass track. We get quite a lot of variation through the compilation, each artist with their own way of chilling us out.

As usual, Interchill give us a nice selection of carefully chosen tracks from new and established artists. I enjoyed the variation we get in this compilation, mostly going a dubby direction, but each artist with their different way of doing it, from experimental electronic sound to ethnic, organic chill.

This CD has amazing variation. It really shows you a wide range of current very very good Ambient and Chill artists. Unless you like a lot of styles I doubt you will like ALL the songs, as it is all over the place... but what it will do is give you a CD with flavor and quality that you will defiantly not forget. One of my favorite chill/ambient releases.
