http://www.jellycast.com The follow up album to the well received debut "Progression" from MUNKIE is "Chemical Process". This is a darker, more intellectual affair whilst still retaining some of the characteristics of the debut. It takes a look at human emotions and life from depression (In my darkened room) and sadness (shatter the circles) to love (antidote to strychnine) and courage (cry no more tears). This album will take you on an ambient, "chilled" journey exploring different personalities. Opener 'Antidote To Strychnine' is a mellow piece of downbeat electronica, complete with some of the haziest, melancholic vocals. The sweeping synths and the minor chords whip about the track, giving it the edge that most 'chill out' music lacks. With the songs ranging from three to five minutes, the full effect is on view, with some tracks a bit more sprightly and commercial, whilst the song 'Shatter The Circles' is just so full of heavenly passion and beautiful instrumentation, as strings, synths, piano, electro-percussive rhythms and deep bass supply the backdrop to a smoothly flowing vocal. In the downtempo / electro style but with a dark ambient edge, this has an experimental style. Being influenced by many different genres of music has shaped this unique sound. This album is a superb quality slice of ambient song-writing, playing and vocalising, as the tracks unfold to perfection, with stunning composition on the entire album. en-PI http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by/2.0/ JellyCast http://www.jellycast.com jason@sunshinemusic.co.uk (munkie) Music Tue, 21 Mar 2006 12:31:15 +0000 Tue, 21 Mar 2006 12:31:15 +0000 munkie munkie jason@sunshinemusic.co.uk podcast No A journey through the album "Chemical Process" by MUNKIE Chemical Process, is a fantastic blend of ambience and haunting vocals. It's the kind of album you would put on when you are chilling with a bottle of wine in a candlelit atmosphere, and hopefully someone to enjoy it with. Because you will want to spread the word once you've had the total chill out experience this album offers. Each of the 11 tracks has a personality from Fire in my heart where the emotion pumps out the speakers to the beat sounds from Dream of you (in colours). https://munkie.jellycast.com/node/3 This is a description of the complete album Chemical Process by MUNKIE.
