Vampire Nation

Wise-Ta-Nech

Hexagon

I don’t know how I got mixed up in this. I have a slight thing for vampires, I guess… but this CD, starting off with an almost documentary sounding spoken word strangeness, soon falls into some weird new age techno flow groove vibe, and I’m not sure what to do other than move forwards. It feels slightly dark, but dark in some Santa Fe shadowed way. Clean mix and steady beat, but it’s more for meditation than movement. Some interesting rhythms, within the repetition, and I move on.
