SONIC CELLULOID

Another splendid entry into the Djam Karet catalogue. Spacey and melodic, the textures are on the light side for these guys. Continuity and evolution are two words that describe this collective that have been making consistently high quality product since the eighties. This isn't product in the Frank Zappa sense, referring to the big label music factories prevalent in his time. No, this is to be digested by guitar loving, atmosphere craving rock and roll adventurers. This is art - any skill raised to a very high level, maybe the only thing I remember from college.

Sonic Celluloid is easily one of my favorite Djam Karet releases, on any given day it could be this one or eight or nine different ones. Still, I tune in for the atmospheres, not necessarily the guitar, and this release is one of the most satisfying as a whole for my tastes. I was tempted to go five, but that would be in my world. This is no overall masterpiece, just a solidly entertaining listen for inclined parties.
