The Field knows some deep magic, the likes of which we probably haven’t seen since the ‘90s heyday of ‘Selected Ambient Works’ or ‘The Brown Album’. The Divine Cosmos Third album by Stellardrone released under Creative Commons license. Somewhere in the deceptive simplicity of these songs are hidden powerful sonic sigils to unlock secret places in your brain. Sublime by Stellardrone, released 24 November 2010 1. Interestingly, there are also two experiments in less straightforward 4/4 rhythms – ‘Good Things End’ and ‘Mobilia’, the latter of which uses disordered and faulty-sounding drums to particularly disorienting and satisfying effect.īut it really isn’t the style of the album or the techniques used (and those processed wordless voices are used a LOT) that counts here. ‘Everyday’ and ‘The Little Heart Beating so Fast’ complete a trio of clubby but emotive tracks, in contrast to the rest of the album which is largely ambient. The opening track ‘Over the Ice’ will be the most familiar, and remains one of Willner’s stand-out moments. ‘From Here We Go Sublime’ succeeds admirably at this task because it has both stylistic and artistic unity – the songs sound similar but not the same, and it evokes a variety of moods from the exultant to the sad, but moods with the same flavour of cool, bright outdoor freshness, which I hope is why Axel Willner chooses to call himself ‘The Field’. At this point, words run out and I’ll have to resort to pictures:ĭance music albums, in the sense of records that you want to put on and listen to all the way through, are extremely rare. Simply stated, it’s truly beautiful music.

This is music for imagining a utopian future to, for dreaming of running through alpine fields with that cute girl on the other side of the dancefloor and for hoping that this tune lasts forever and you never have to open your eyes. However, artistically, it sits in a class of own at this early point in the year.
Sonically this album is but a short hop away from the budget histrionics of a million trance anthems – sickly sweet melodies, squelchy acid lines under slowly drifting pads and a general fondness for repetition. The sounds are so slick, shiny and plastic that they could only have come out of a computer, but the songs tug so warmly and wetly on your heartstrings that they could only have been created by a homosapien. Somehow it makes us feel less than and more than human.īut there is another side to the sound of machines, which is that strange alchemy whereby sometimes the most synthetic sounds can feel the most human. We move like machines to the sound of machines for that strange thrill of being controlled by a machine.
#SUBLIME ALBUMS FULL#
The low moments don't arrive that often - by and large, the album is quite engaging - but they happen frequently enough to make the record a demonstration of the band's blossoming ability, but not the fulfillment of their full potential. Sublime sags when the band delves too deeply into their dub aspirations or when their lyrics slide into smirking humor. Switching between bracing hardcore and slow, sexy reggae numbers, Sublime display supple, muscular versatility and, on occasion, a gift for ingratiatingly catchy hooks, as on the hit single "What I Got." What they don't have is the vision - either lyrical or musical - to maintain interest throughout the course of the entire album. Even so, the trio does have a surprising grace in its unabashedly traditionalist fusion of Californian hardcore punk, light hip-hop, and reggae. White Stonecrop is a hardy plant that is suitable for both beginner and experienced gardeners. It is a widespread plant that is native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. It grows up to four inches tall and approximately 18 inches wide. As a show of sympathy, the album tended to be slightly overrated in some critical quarters, who claimed that Nowell was an exceptionally gifted lyricist and musical hybridist, but Sublime doesn't quite support those claims. Sedum album is a dense, creeping succulent that is sometimes referred to as White Stonecrop. Sublime's eponymous major-label debut arrived a few months after the band's leader, Brad Nowell, died tragically of a heroin overdose.
