Awesome Trance/Trip-Hop Journey, Dec 21 2005

I've been a Kid Loco fan for several years, and have always sought out his work and never been disappointed. This album, in my opinion, is one of his best pieces of work. It consists of one track that fades and melts into different styles of music, so although there is only the single track, it feels like several different songs at times. I have a very long commute to work and was surprised that this album is actually longer than my drive!
The style of music is very Eastern-influenced, very trancey, nicely trip-hoppish. I really enjoy listening to it. It's definitely great background music for day-to-day activities.
The only drawback to the album being one-track is that I rely heavily upon my iPod for entertainment during my long commute, and this album really won't translate to the shuffle-play I usually use, since the single track is over an hour long. I enjoy the artistic concept of the album having only 1 track, but it's not practical for that sort of use. Other than that, this is an excellent example of Jean-Yves Prieur's talent at the mixing board.

Anyone looking for another "A Grand Love Story" will be pretty bemused after listening to this. Nor is it anything like "Kill Your Darlings" either. In fact, now that I think about it, is there even a Kid Loco sound at all?
Strange thing is, the longest piece on this CD sounds very much like some of Popol Vuh's longer excursions e.g. the title track from Bruder des Schattens etc. I'd love to know if KL has ever heard them. It's very hypnotic but its lack of development given its length may put a lot of people off.
