Astounding album by newworldaquarium!
'The Dead Bears' in my opinion, is his best output of works in a while, since the re-release of 'Themefrom/NY' 12" also on Delsin/Nwaq
Honestly there's not a duff track here folks. Admittedly, there's noting new in terms of sound & production from our favourite Dutch pioneer as such here, but then again, that's what I love about his sound, it is defiantly HIS sound.
Distorted bass sounds & the overlaying uplifting chords in 'The Force'. Always evolving minutely. Always fresh sounding too.
The sexy sounds of 'Star Power', drifting along, with slow hi-hats and background swathes of sound, drifting in & out. Not long enough but great.
Another great highlight is the 'oh-so' catchy 'Kirana's Lament' Immediately,the groove just grabs your attention & you don't want it to end. Play this doozy out & watch for reactions.
Dead Bears harks back in places to his seminal breakthrough EP 'Fragments' from 1992 i think anyway.
Only 7 tracks on here & with a full CD release at end of Feb 2008 (with 4 bonus tracks) this will & should be marked as a great work from this quite reclusive artist.
Note: This LP release is limited to 500 units only. Get your a$$ to your nearest dealer now!
4.7/5 (
