CONCENTRATION
09 07 2010
This CD has been on repeat in my car system for days on end. Really lovely composed mix from the ESP Institute/Lovefingers camp.
“Welcome to the first in a series of philanthropic, pedagogical compilations from the ESP Institute. Curated and programmed by Lovefingers, “Concentration” is a narrative blend of obscurities, re-edits and remixes contributed by the label’s international family of collaborators. So we get the sublime cinematic boogie of “Rocks In Me”, edited by Alexis Le-Tan & Lee Douglas. Bumrocks take a typically off the beaten track route with the slinky “Piedra” – some kind of Balearic pop ditty that warms the cockles of your heart. Soft rock driver “Worldwide” arrives edited by Take, and there’s the Laurel Canyon dreaminess of “I Gotta Woman” (Abel edit). Also check the Chee Shimizu remix of “Yuku Yuku” – definitely a must for fans of Krautrock-disco fusions! Lexx’s killer tropical electro-Balearic disco sounds of “Verliebt”, a beautiful kalimba-tinted Afro-disco-not-disco of “Mateki” by Cos/Mes, and Afro-electro-disco of “Khoi Khoi”, edited by Secret Circuit. All proceeds from this series are donated to Harmony Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to youth development through music study, practice and performance.”
