Various – The Mind Journey EP

Love the comment below about the speeds, and it can be deceiving as this could really work as downtempo, but definitely 45, which puts it into a category of its own. Almost like mid 90's trance.

The tracks on the B side are very well produced. Still, I have not been able to determine if the correct playback speed is 33, or 45 RPM. Both manage to sound very good. At 33 they sound like supernatural chill-out tracks; while at 45 they have a very uplifting and dreamy feeling.

On the A side Reggie Dokes comes through with his usual bare-bone synthesized approach. With the slow beat and driving sounds; the music delivers a futuristic sound scape navigated in slow motion.

I love the "Kenneth Williams Jr. - Love Over Water" track. Nice, understated downtempo electronics, almost verging on IDM. The Henry Feinberg track would be up there too, were it not for the cheesy piano freakout near the end. Either way, this release is well worth purchasing, and was a surprise find for me.
