Euphoria

A quite
astounding fusion of the bluesy, organic sound of the acoustic and slide guitar
and electronica. It has an extremely deep textured sound which
mixes world music and ambient into a tapestry which is quite otherworldly. It
certainly reminds me of early Tangerine Dream.
Some of the mystical even gospel sound makes it a
unique fusion of so many different textures and musical genres.
The rather gutsy organic sound of the acoustic and slide guitar Is not
what you'd expect to hear in the hi-tech world of modem psychedelic, electronica and trlp-hop music,
but that's exactly what made their first self titled album Euphoria such an
unexpected success in 1999. The album
has a definite world music and textured sound, thanks part to William Orbit and
Madonna’s drummer who provides both live drumming and electronic percussion
programming, and Garry Hughes state-of-the- art production and keyboard skills.
I found this a superb CD which I like more and more each time I play it !
