A mature and colorful donwtempo- psydub- & glitch-excursion through starkly contrasting musical environments of humanly inspired craftmanship, Chronos' compilation "Animo" brings forth new experiences in the realm of experiential sound exploration.
The album is a collaboration by many artists with Chronos delivering us a high caliber ride into unheard realms and grooves as we get sucked into the charismatic and at times outlandish soundscapes and stories, enriched with futuristic synth lines, glitchy beats and a dose of guitars, strings and percussive instruments where they help underline the tracks' characteristics.
The whole album has been released under Creative Commons and is freely downloadable from ektoplazm.com
The themes and edges of the tracks vary gretaly and I want to share my favorite off of the album, Chronos vs. Acidkit - Broken Song, a deep and captivating groove expedition.
