4.0 excellentBedex | November 18th 20

This is like Slow Traffic but much more successful and with more of a consistent vibe, with a touch more of that dreamy fusion style Lotus had eg on 2 and 6. I feel like I still do prefer the esoterism of Lotus, but this one is undeniably fun and funky with its all-round prominent and groovy bass. And this is true from the very banging album intro. After the more relaxed and dreamy 2, 3-4 are funky as hell again before 5 purrs in the ear with its soft jazzy guitar intro that gets super bouncy later on. It does end on a fade out though. 6 occasionally has a bit too much of spice for the album's vibe imo but is still a fantastic track, while the synthy 7 works quite well to close the album. Seems like the 8th track is only present on the Expanded Edition as a bonus track of sorts, and thats good because while its intro is nice and flows well, as a cover I find its purpose a bit questionable. All round solid and will go to me lib. 4.0
