V/A Quality Relaxation (Chill Tribe)
Entheogenic-Walk On Air > I didn't recognize Entheogenic immediately because of the harmonies which are slightly different (less psychedelic & more sunny) but above all it's due to the rythmic consisting in a sort of slow drum n' bass. The voices samples (deep woman voice incantating/singing), them, are typical Enthéogenic trademarks. They've s managed here, to make their sound evolving without loosing their own characteristic & they should keep going on producing this deeper way for their next tunes in the future.
Elysium-Fayritale > I don't like the man voice here, it's not matching with the concept of 'Fayritale' as he seems to suffer on half of the song,it's painful.Furthermore, the cold & sleepy aspects of this track don't fit with my chill tastes.
Shulman-The Unexpected Visitor (Carbon Based Lifeforms-Carbonator Remix)> It propluses you through vast, flat, snow recovered & deserted landscapes illuminated by the low & almost horizontal scandinavian lights. This is hardly if you could be disturbed by a kind snow fall from 3'12 with flakes tickling your visage.
Ishq-En Soph> It's time for more complex production & typical climatic ambient. It's in the old ambient tradition (from an electronic view & not strictly psy one), i mean long tunes, nature's samples (birds singing), it's totally beatless conferring an intemporal side to the tune. It's sad we don't see more tracks like this released by the pretended psy-ambient&chill labels.
Jaïa-Missing> This band has been famous, by the past, for their exotic goa sounds but also for few chill tunes such as 'L'Ivresse Des Profondeurs' for example. Missing plays mainly on the amplitude's variation of certain sounds whereas , on the end, it turns more into classical music with violin's chords.
Cell-Secret Wedding>Same thing as for Elysium, this track doesn't enter in my chill tastes but the reasons are different: globally too heavy in its harmonies & the rythmic is too much at the first plan not enough in background (especially the kick).
PhasePhour-Unpronounced Numbers>I find the melody awful here.
Elysium vs Space Cat-Dub Connection>Another palette of chill area is explored now with this warm pleasant dub song revealing more acoustic tones (bass, rythmic & percussions).
Altitudes-Altitude 1> As i already told, i don't like when there's pumping beats in chill stuff & it's the case here. Except this, the structure is more weird & diversified compared to all other tracks which contributes to
enhance the content's quality.
Blue Planet Corporation-Wild City> There's some similarities with previous track but here in a more accomplished way & with a reasonnable rythmic :) . You've got some slighty sour 303 loops in the background plus an undeniable irresistible funky-jazzy groove.
As the compilation aims to explore a bit of each chill directions, it explains why, according to me, there's a big chance you'll enjoy some tracks & others won't fit your taste at all.
