Another Fine Day - Life Before Land

 

 

ANOTHER FINE DAY

Life Before Land

1994 Beyond

 

Notes :

Another Fine Day makes his debut with LIFE BEFORE LAND, and from the primordial sounds on the title track, the journey through time and space begins. The gentle melodies drift above gentle rhythms, and nowhere is this more lovingly craft than on the blissful "Lazy Daisy," a gorgeous slice of ambience. "Esperanto" clatters into being, then fades away into nighttime radio static, allowing the deeper, warm tones and double bass of "Green Thought (In Green Shade)" to emerge. More indigenous percussion and wave splashes punctuate "Ammonite Spiral," whereas "So Blue" is starts off beatless in its drift before the alien blipping comes in to create that spacious feel. "Buckets And Spades" concludes the journey earthbound once more, with a refracting guitar and a quiet melody. This life is definitely worth living again and again.

Various Artists
Types - A Kudos Sampler
1994 Kudos Records

Notes:
A fine collection of mostly UK techno. Hard to find a compilation that has what some consider the best As One, Stasis and Fugue tracks all on one comp. Having the Fugue track featured here (maybe only place released on cd) in itself is worth noting and getting this cd. Fantastic song in Contrapoint. Isatai is possibly my favorite Detroit inspired British idm / techno track of all time. 5 minutes of a lifetime of music. Don't sleep on the balearic track from Conemelt. Strong chill out track there combined with trip hop downtempo in White Dopes on Funk give this compilation some nice depth and everyday listenability. Round out this cd with solid but dated cuts from Pentatonik, Dave Angel's other worldly Rotation track that kicked off his own label with the same name, Synectics, Eco Tourist and Sandoz and you get a very solid and nearly fantastic compilation of 1994 British techno.
