Elegant exoticism as field music, featuring New Age ambient, dubwise, downtempo, Balearic chillout, and soothing, nostalgic exotic sounds. While paying homage to the legacy of Group Of Gods and Water Melon, this release perfectly captures a contemporary approach to the music scene, featuring three mesmerizing, slow-tempo tracks that will leave you spellbound.
You’ll be thoroughly enveloped in the eerie, mysterious, and exotic beauty of their downtempo sound—a vibe that’s clearly reflected in the band’s name, which shares its name with the Rafflesia, one of the world’s largest parasitic plants found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. I highly recommend this release. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
