Kaleidophone has put together an extra mellow album which almost borders on
being classified as new age because of it's happy go lucky mentality. Perky is
also an excellent one word description of the music which although ambient in
nature also has the ability to become extremely upbeat at times. This is the
type of music you might expect as the soundtrack to animated childrens film or
fairy tale. A few of the tracks are a little noisy at times but they always
return to the same felicity from which they sprang. It is totally devoid of
vocals of spoken word samples yet full of appropriated organic sounds. It's
difficult to formulate any real solid opinion of this album because it is so
drastically different thematically from anything else on the Minus Habens
label. Perhaps it is better to leave the opinion up to you as the audience
rather than allow my judgement get in the way. The sheer novelty of the album
is maybe the best reason to give it a listen because I can honestly say that I
haven't heard anything quite like it before.
