LR-60 & MR. MOODS - COLDEST MEMORIES (WWW.LR-60.COM)
In my recent listening history, LR-60 and Mr. Moods' "Coldest Memories" easily finds its place near or at the top of the chillout stack. Downtempo hooks seep in like that first hit of good pot after a long dry spell, offering a soothing hypnotism to the listener. This talent-meeting of electronica producer and jazz instrumentalist makes for richly compelling music. Organic horn sounds find a brilliant artistic mating with the electronic textures. Atmosphere is king on "Coldest Memories." The classic past of great jazz playing time machines to tomorrow through this chillout context. One can almost see steam and streetlights in some city of jazz towering over future skies while still caked with the memories of yesteryear.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
