Sim Fossil's 'Tidal Figures is like the musical equivalent of Antony Gormley's series of beach figures going of a Balearic paddle.
More of a 'companion' set to Dream Chinmey's previous release, Sorcerer's 'Sunlight Hits' (see review HERE) as it grooves in downtempo synth funk and the moon's gavitational pull.
Sam Fossil in based in Paris and not of Dorest's Jurassic Coast as you might imagine as this is very Balearic beach vibe that'll equally West Coast San Francisco: this is especially true of the Max Essa (Is It Balearic? Recordings, Hell Yeah, Bear Funk and many more) on the remix of 'Echo Marina'.
Project Sandro (a collaborative Rollmottle and Tony Watson) remix ‘Null Meridian’ into more of a space disco that's got the multi-genre beat vision of the trip-hop end of Chicago's lynyn (see review coming HERE soon).
The original tracks are lots more ambient/downtempo with a slow pace that you wouldn't necessarily expect from a left bank but definely live up to the 'Dream Chimney' name. The: label themselves say, "half-speed Harold Faltermeyer adrift in an underwater voyage", it'd say throw a bit of Steve Hillage/System 7 in there and you've got it; put 'Nyrosine' and 'Backcurrent' in ya ruck sacks.
