THE HERMIT - WONDERMENT (NETTWERK AMERICA) |
| |
When the first gentle warmth of the titular track on
The Hermits Wonderment embraces you, you enter an
instant state of transcendence, transported perhaps to
a floating place in another universe. Soothing ambient
melodies and soft siren song call out to the soul.
Journey of the Dot utilizes some of the chilled
groove aspects of artists like Enigma or Amethystium
and Flutterbye laces its morphine beats with
deep-under-the-ocean ambience and lulling and
innocently sultry vocals. Suspension expands the
consciousness with its more-euphoric-than-heaven
quietude and Wont Fall Apart strangely infuses its
sound with a hint of southwestern hip-hop (extremely
laid back of course). Palpitations returns to
southwest gothic, minus the hipness and plus a nice
piano line. Sir Real is a luscious bit of subtle and
stoned electropop. Galaxies Collide caresses with
its irresistable cool grooves (which obliquely
reference reggae rhythms) and Clear Voyage dwells in
offbeat territory that reminds one of The Cardigans
odder efforts. Finally, Dawn of the Apple Farm
rounds out this batch of tracks with its sci-fi-ish
space music quirk. A solid, explorative expression of
chilled tunes.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
