3.5 greatBedex | November 14th 20

Again sounds quite modern, but shows a different vibe compared to Lotus. This one feels more like club jazz, a fun, somewhat bass-centric jam session. As such it makes for a gig I'd enjoy a lot, and an album I'd gladly rejam, but it does have less of that mystical esoteric atmosphere that Lotus showed. It's cooler, but doesn't tell a story as much. This is reinforced by 4 which weirdly ruptures the atmosphere by sounding like a sexy jazz jingle, sounding almost comical especially in the intro. Thankfully 6 (to which 5 is just an intro) does not continue this and goes back to a style evoking Lotus a bit more, with a fun bass groove, making for perhaps my fave track on this. Honestly might come back to this and that closing track especially. 3.7
