The beats were funky and groovy, and the synths and guitar allowed for deep meditation. It is a reflection of the good time had while also allowing you to be introspective. After a long day of surfing and sunbathing, close friends gather at the edge of the beach and watch the sunset with a few Coronas. If I had to sum up what this album made me feel I would do it this way. Surprisingly catchy and although not groundbreaking in its complexity it pulls itself together to be quite rhythmic. It continues to build and becomes a progressive bouncer. Glide Reflection- Looped strings and piano make this feel like it is the last track. The synths are not overpowering allowing the track to take hold and manipulate. It's sunset music after a long, fun day at the beach. My God I got the sense that this was similar to a track I heard by Cause and Effect. Harmonic Mean- This one is a floating track with acoustic guitar, twinkling synths and a nice breakbeat. It continues on and I get lost in it, but not in a good way. It makes me think of the album cover, high tech future music. Tesselation- This breakbeat track is kind of dreamy. The tone is a little more dark and a slight bit hopeful, just the way I like it. When the guitar comes in I have to admit it is very pretty with a lot less cheese than the last track. The soft piano melody is joined with some seriously liquid effects. Strange Parallels- Cool percussion work again with a tribal feel. Maybe it was just me, but I don't think this track fits here at all.

Great track!įloating Point- I'm sorry did I accidentally switch to my Yanni CD? This is a cheesy piano melody that is so full of sugar and spice that I think I became diabetic. The soft keystrokes dance lithely above the groove recalling a certain subway ride in Chicago a la Risky Business. Goldbach's Conjecture- Such a groove! The dubby bass and clanging in the background bely a afternoon summer rest after surfing all day. The guitar accompaniment is well placed and I like the attention to detail. More tribal percussion heightens the groove with the whisper of a female voice. A nice intro track.Ĭoncentric Circles- There is a dubby quality here with ice cold pads on the horizon. More synths combine to create a loungey type feel with more tribal percussion. Fair to say I looked forward to his follow up album.Ĭircularity- I like the muted trip-hop beat with the soft pad in the background. While proficient in the slower downtempo stuff he can just as easily craft a nice breakbeat tune or an ambient floater. What Nick is quite skilled at is not being pigeon holed into one specific genre. If I had to pick a favorite track by him, I would go with Deer Park. His first, Circuit Breaker, turned a lot of heads in the downtempo community and he has made the rounds on numerous compilations. This is Nick Brennan with his second release on new label Section Records.
