Erotic? Yes, if you find wooden instruments in consensual union a stimulation, but the breeding on the cover is what predicts the natural evolution this man (known only as Glideascope) has ascertained, and improved upon, the explorative endeavours of the likes of Bjork and a toned down Aphex Twin. This guy is amazing. Even as a rock fan, even as a newbie to trip-hop, you can't deny quality and intrinsic flux when you hear it, and I can convey to you this man has a purpose on this planet: music.<br> <br> How beautiful is Russia? I can't say from optical illustrations, but I can feel from the opener "Devushka" which is dedicated to Russian beauty, that this land is lush fertility. From the hand clapping in the first seconds to the "I'm shutting down" mantra backed by the snap and triple snare runs, you find yourself on foreign soil with an audible Visa that never expires. Glideascope carries you away, the senses take over, a hush fills over your racketed mind, and all is well once with the world again.<br> <br> Third song, "A moments peace" is the soundtrack to a movie never made. A touch of Moby is present on this one, and it never wavers to sterility or advert commercialism.<br> <br> I recommend this album to those interested in being interested. Who dream of soulful pleasure, mind enhancing vacations and good rhythms, who need a touch of techno culture from across the pond. I recommend to you, Glideascope.  </p> </body>
