Entirely created in Cubase, the cross-genre “Impossible Landscapes” is Andrew Miles’ second album for the Spotted Peccary label, which (fortunately) is a tad less energetic compared to “One”. The contemporary outcome features the dream-like vocals of guest-artist Zefora on two ambient pieces, while the others are a mix of groovy mid/down-tempo electronics, samples plus beats along a few quieting ambient excursions (such as “Planum”, “Thought Drop” and “Aphelion”. I’m not into this style of psytronica myself, as it sounds a bit distant, too technical and clean after having heard a couple of tracks. Then again, the distortive and looped sound samples scattered over various takes also get a bit tiring as the album progresses. It makes “Astral Body” a major flaw between the others, while the final “Quantum Teleportation” fits best in the general down-tempo section. Maybe some electronic tech-heads or psy& goa trance fans may find some of their liking on this release. |
