“Music for Future Release.” The scope is from incidental jazz from musical frontiers afar, to a bonafide house trance. Intergalactic segues meet annoying noises; some soothing, a few real grooves, some ordinary, some quite alluring. You never know what color or depth the next turn brings.
However, some questions do come to my mind, like is the further exploration of video game noises over orchestral crescendos necessary? Is my life more complete with a recording of garbage truck samples at my ready for those annoying days when nothing wakes me up early? Howie B., Coldcut, MantroniK, Andrea Parker, and Tranquility Bs are some of the artists included here.
