Aus - Curveland [Moteer - 2007]Curveland is full of inviting lulling tones, micro rhythmic pulses and the odd more up beat lush pop moments, the tracks are often soothed by light airy and sensual Japanese/English female vocals. All weaved together to make the audio equivalent of slowly falling on to a warm feather mattress. Pure audio comfort, which you just want to seek deeply into. Nothing every feels forced or contrived, it’s all just beautiful painted like a delicate watercolour of sunlight playing on a sea scape,with all the grace of spring blossom fall. This simply makes you feel good, you feel warm outwards from its unfolding petals of audio grace. It aptly mixes pitter-patter of summer rain music box sounds, sunwarmed ambient electronics, fragile guitar tones, lush- often hazy banks of piano waltz, Plus glicthy electronics with all the sharpness sanded away. Not forgetting the beautiful vocals curtsey of Cokiyu, which are left to float over the sound like silk or enchantingly electronically trapped and mixed in like audio chocolate into the creamy and smooth sound base. It does seem to become slightly downcast as the album drifts towards the end, but never really enough to make one blue. A very pleasant and feel good slice of audio cake, that will relax and loosen up one's life tight body and spirit, Which nicely balances melodic concerns with richly textured depth and sweetness.
