RAICA - Dose

RAICA - Dose (Further Records) Comentários: Further Records co-boss lady Chloe Harris presents her excellent 2nd solo album of ambient synth drone. On 'Dose' she conducts herself with minimal, uncluttered elegance over eight neatly constructed tracks. Compared with the spooling tendencies of many in the neo-kosmische realm, Reica's pieces are more buttoned up, like bubbling oddities made in a micro-brewery for those with more esoteric tastes. There's still a definite new age tendency, but one reined-in by a DJ's sense of timing and a personal, tactile feel for ambient pop sweetness that displays her great taste in music. The results sit somewhere betwee

n a lo-fi SAW II and the harmonised synth drift of Madalyn Merkey - which is a great thing in our books. Recommended. in boomkat
