 Baby Mammoth Swimming 1xCD Pork |
If you have
been exploring the Freestyle music pages for a while, you
should know that you should always check the Pork
releases while in the music stores. Sure, we did too, and
found a new Baby Mammoth album this time. The home of
Fila Brazillia, Bullitnuts, Heights of Abraham, Pork
acquired its very own status and position in the music.
Swimming of Baby Mammoth is a Pork album in its purest
tradition of chilly beats. The remarkable thing of so
many Pork releases is the fine line the artists walk
between musical tradition and innovation in an overall
lounging style. So does Baby Mammoth. Building on
acid-jazz, Baby Mammoth adds dreamy ambient textures,
elements of dub, warm and deep backbeats, cool moog
sounds and pure jazz piano melodies. We especially like
Quick Kick, Urban Waltz and Lost Bearings, which bring a
warm polyrythmic mixture of traditional jazz explorations
that remind us of artists like Miles Davis, George
Benson, Earl Klugh or Ronny Jordan, and more futuristic
synth ambient soundscapes. Noteworthy is also Chicken
Chiefly with its super heavy deep driving fonky oldskool
beat and future jazz gimmicks. Very nice! No, Swimming won't disappoint as a typical Pork chillout experience! Enjoy apr/99 ez |
