3 stars Electric Mud experimental post-folk-jazzy, eclectic prog, a drawer of ambient art-rock. Moments of relaxation, turmoil worthy of a cinema soundtrack; majestic symphonic organ, futuristic chamber music with nature sounds taken on the ground, for an extraordinary experience. A new album with 5 tracks added to their EP, still on this atmospheric-cinematic rock vein.

'bounce house' cinematic sound, atmosphere of gangster films from the 60s, a 70s organ as a hook, minimalist and gripping. 'flood' with a bucolic melody, the Irish air of the end of the beach, like 'Local Hero'; it is declined on a languor sprinkled with a raw guitar solo. 'timos lost weekend' melancholic atmosphere, travel to the faraway; a vintage keyboard reminiscent of that of the Supertramp; voiceovers, a clear and aggressive drum pad on an Oldfieldian melody with the fat, singular riff. 'electric magma' with '2001' in the background as an intro followed by a 60's tune then the basic 80's synth like those of John Carpenter, dramatic, vintage, successful effect. 'anthony' and the rustic, folkloric nursery rhyme, the melody that we have already heard elsewhere; again a zest of Oldfield with the crystalline acoustic guitar; the bass suddenly pregnant, on Alan Parsons, pleasure of memory; piece that rises, becomes airy, obvious; more dramatic with the pads in the distance and the invasive crescendo; the second part languorous.
