Trance2MoveU Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Artist: Hypnagog Title: Dreaming in Pieces EP Label: UP Records Date: November, 2009 1. Still Dreaming (128 BPM) 2. Funkdiddle (90 BPM) 3. Tiny Little Pieces (120 BPM) 4. Reflections No. 2 (129 BPM) Tired of downtempo being too "feel good" and lacking in psychedelia? Want something a little different? Feel like busting a cap in someone's ass? Then check this gentleman out. This is Felix Greenlees from down under with a 4 track EP that combines breaks and a PHAT beat that is dripping with psychedelic sounds. Still Dreaming- Eerie melodies and a funky ass beat but you had me at Spit that sh*t homie! The bass is a deep rumbling earthquake of funk and brings to mind some old Prodigy sh*t. Psychedelia whips back and forth while it sounds like The Riddler is on keys. Love the underwater tapping and how the tempo changes all in flow. The melody at the end is haunting and fits like a glove with this groove. Awesome! Funkdiddle- Did you get Gregory Hines to tap over this track? He's dead you know. Long time now. Your wobbly bass tipped over my tea. Now I gotta clean that up. Thank you. The tempo is slow and then increases and then hits the George Clinton funk mothership that is nod your head friendly. Super fast keyboard riffs cascade over a bouncy melody before the whole thing slows back down. Nice. Tiny Little Pieces- "Well the very big questions that uh, humanity has posed always, are where we come from, what are we made of, what is the future of the universe. But the universe like everybody else is made of tiny little pieces..." The Shpongle influences here are front and center as soft pads hum a forlorn melody. Acoustic guitar strums delicately as the track speeds up and devolves into a series of clicks. When the electric piano comes in I thought we were in the beginning of Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake. The breakbeat is cool with the bass having a seizure of funk. Tender female vocals sing as melodies are tapped out. This is a real pretty song that seems to have it all. Reflections No. 2- Strings baby, beautiful soundtrack strings. So passionate and full of emotion. This is the most upbeat of tracks with lots of blips and blops from space popping and being tuned in like a radio. This is what catching a ride on a comet must feel like. Or being in the center of a kaleidoscope. He throws more acoustic guitar at you and it's like getting laid with your new girlfriend. Perfect. F*cking stunning. Absolutely superb and if this is just a sample of what this guy can create than anything he does is a blind buy. I urge you to check him out because his music sounds great. Beats, psychedelics, and warm atmospheric pads and strings. Get it. Ektoplazm Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraneFreeze Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Felix G has also put out some interesting music as Terrafractyl, such as the Chrysalis album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
