Elementary Particles

Oh. My. God. Tasty? (Yes). Transporting? (Yes). Psychedelic? (Yes.) Am I going to use more than one word in a sentence? (No. Alright, Yes.) Bluetech is from California and this album is an incredibly tasty offering. First thing you notice is there’s two CD’s in here — and while not strictly full-length, you’re still looking at two hours of sublime chilled psychedelia. And by this, we’re not referring to your average hammock-chanting-McKenna fodder; this here’s “proper” music. There’s evidence of classical or jazz training here, as melodies form and move you in the same way that Jerry Garcia might if he was making psytrance… this melodic squirm may leave some people a bit baffled; more Pharoah Sanders than Pharoah Shpongle, you may want to check it before you buy. For the open-minded listener however, there’s depth and love gone into this that literally oozes out your speakers; best reflected on Alchemie Dub, Prayers for Rain (both versions) and Prima Materia’s high-watermark 7th Phase Dub. This is a hugely loveable collection, that’s been the soundtrack to psyreviews’ top floor penthouse wall-to-ceiling-window central London apartment since it arrived, and all indications show no sign of that changing anytime soon. Maximum respect.
