STYLE

Psychedelic, intelligent, electronic dub music with multiple layers of soft-synth experimentation and whispering hints of ethnic influences. Bluetech produces a busy sound with a fresh digital feel - there is an obvious precise attention to detail both in composition and in production technique. Clearly the artist enjoys re-engineering sound sources, injecting echoing snippets of voice, manipulated world music elements and reverberating textures of computer-generated noise. The overall effect is complex, clear and blissful.

MOOD The mood is chilled mid/down-tempo, yet thanks largely to the clean, crisp dynamics, frequently upbeat and light in tenor. There are a range of influences evident, with the composor drawing on many musical genres from reggae and dub to jazz and classical. However, everything works together in harmonious unity to form a distinct 'Bluetech' sound constantly shifting, thick with psychedelia.

ARTWORK The artwork on this double CD is in keeping with Bluetech's vision - 'both organic and digital at the same time'. Strings of flowers overlay kaleidoscopic background imagery with deep, glowing colours. The photography is sharp and warm, the composition impelling, whilst the text is simple and clear, not interfering with the graphics and giving us all the information, credits and thanks we need.

OVERALL This package re-issues Prima Materia (originally released on Waveform) and the Elementary Particles EP (available on Native State) together as two hours of blissful chilled-out psychedelia. There is an enchanting, otherworldly, hi-tech atmosphere as Bluetech aims to capture "that element of the fantastic that underlies normal reality that peers through in dreams". Tracks work as a seductive "doorway for that energy" carrying the listener off on mind trips that work well with the ambience of the night. The track Triangle on disc two is a remix of an original piece by Sounds From The Ground and we also get a guest remix of Bluetech's own Prayers For Rain by J. VIEWZ on disc one.

WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM This is pure synthetic bliss, with emphasis on trebly dub beats and exploratory electronics. If you enjoy psy-trance all slowed down to a swaying pace, digital experimentation and desk-top mystical wandering - try this double album. Although Bluetech does live shows, his music has a distinct 'studio' feel to it, so this will appeal to those liking painstakinkly constructed sonic architecture rather than 'live' musical performance.

If you´re familiar with the sound of Shulmann, or the (stripped down,moody) Shpongle-stuff,you can buy this cd blindly.
