I don't know what inconsistency means in this case ? I like the production and the sounds of supernature on Free Form more but people's minds change and so does the music. From the first track on talking stick has a positive flow. Medicine drum leaves the path of this deep mystical sounds , I agree, but according to Rox, it has definetly some magic, some new ritual magic on it. The use of more positive sounds goes in favour of the danceability and I mean it's not only magical, it' really fun ! The tracks leave space -'cause they are more relaxed - for your own interaction. Go on your feet, get your djembe or sing with the beautiful chants. I want to hear this after a rainy night on a sunny Sundaymorning. 8/10

Don't be dissapointed if you put your ears on it for the first time . The tracks appear in a smooth and groovy manner but they seem to be a bit too repetetive and, how to say, in a way not very outstanding...but it really works, although the album is not mixed and every song stands for its own, an intense flow is created. Starting with the soft and calm daydream the music tends towards a more deeper, almost "antidotal " atmosphere until it speeds up and shakes you in track 7 with a rough d&b-like beat and finally leads you to the last track which gives the trip a cheesy-funky ending. Considering melodies every track is a little earcatcher and the tunes are nice and are kept in the background in a positive way. Almost every track is accompanied by breaked beats without experiments to be started, the time is mostly moderate. I rate 7/10 although I personally like more weird ambient. To sum it up, don't expect groaning didges, mystic chants and indian pipes but a groovy, thought through and mind-lifting journey. Ambient Trip is moving relaxation not L.S.D.
