MP3: Majessic Dreams - Naked walls
The new Majessic Dreams album "Beautiful days" is disappointing because it's not at all what I was expecting. Only a few tracks (such as the one I've posted today) retain the lush electronic dreamscapes that characterized their previous work. Instead, the duo has pared back their songs to their organic core, a time-honored approach, but one that renders them mediocre. It makes them more human, more approachable, but also less interesting. The more layers they pile on, the more they hide themselves, the deeper I want to dig. I want to put on headphones and get lost in the music. I can do that with "Naked walls". My head swims in the soft waves of loops, cascading gently in series. It's still nowhere near as alien-sounding as their first album, but a happy medium. I can live with that.
