The enigmatic Twin Shape is called upon, once again, to curate a new Various
Artist Compilation for Mindspring. Typically known for his Psychill and
Chillgressive style, this release is centered around Psydub & Glitch -
departure from last years "Deeper Chill" comp. "Reclamation" starts off with
Spiral Minded's 432Hz, healing, intro. The listener is encouraged to
slough-off the layers that can build up, living in this busy, and often
distracting, world. It is a light-hearted, peaceful, and relaxing segue into
the first leg of the journey. "Harmonic Libations" gently eases us in with a
similar tone, soul-shining and free. Well-crafted, deep-dub, bass & beats get
mind & body moving. Glitchy passages meld with 4/4 Downtempo Psy and swirl
back to end on a dubby note. Spiral Minded has another offering, this time a
full-length track, with "Cloudstructure". The large spaces created lightly
float the mind upwards, but the deep bass pulls the feet back down to solid
dub-ground. Mellow synths meet Psychedelic Glitch, like an old friend.
Icaro switches course, taking us to a subterranean level. Reminding us of
the wonderment of art and imagination, the twisted vocals resonate within.
Razor sharp glitches and squishy Psy sounds balance the ethnic
instrumentation. Continuing down the same path set by Icaro, Frequency
Sequence would have us crawling through densely packed percussive rhythms,
surrounded by fractured melodies. A hauntingly frantic example of why Glitch
and Psy work so well with Dub elements. Things slow back down as we trip along
in "Tlaloque", created by Art Of Fact. Ghostly and Angelic vocals pitch in a
beautifully unnatural way. Crunchy, broken percussion, and dub chords, are
accented by bubbly squelches - heady and refined. "Ava" is a perfect neighbor
to encounter next - full of longing and hope, melodies race across the soul.
Emotive violins carry us through a windswept desert of dreams. Filtered leads,
Psydub Glitches, and sharp effects come together in harmony. Twin Shape's own
entry is the final message in this wonderful dialogue. It starts light and
airy, but subby and throbbing bass adds much welcomed weight. It evolves, and
at time dissolves, into powerful passages and hidden surprises. We come back
to where we started, but fresh and rejuvenated - back to center.
An amazing collection of tracks that tell a cohesive and budding story, from
beginning to end. The attention the artists paid the theme is crystal clear;
reclaiming our centered state of being and feeling much more present,
remembering the fullness of life and range of experiences. Top-notch talent
pulled together with conscious intent. We look forward to these artists
returning to Mindspring, and to seeing what Twin Shape has in store for us
next time!
