The ninth album from The Natural Yogurt Band — the project of Miles Newbold, the mysterious Nottingham-born maverick who has delivered exciting releases via Jazzman, Stones Throw's Now-Again imprint, and France's BMM Records — arrives on BMM!!! A dizzying swirl of film-noir neo-library, bewitching and seductive psychedelic downer breakbeat jazz-funk. As always, the soundscape world he creates, unfolding into vivid, imaginary scenery, is simply superb.
Track List
A4 "Too Much Fun" (sample2) is sublimely pleasant, with layer upon layer of dubby polyrhythms from vintage rhythm machines with that cheap, weathered tone, plus an elegant electric piano solo melody. A3 "Punch Me" is gorgeous, strange breakbeat jazz-funk where rhythm machine and live drums intertwine. B3 "Look to the Skies" is full of zapping machine sounds, recalling a stylized horror soundtrack, and B2 "Under the Waves" is a wonderful underwater psychedelic avant slow-mo piece. Eight tracks in all. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
