INCANTO BY CLIMATIC: AN ALBUM REVIEW
by eccentric1 on Mar.16, 2009, under Eccentric
Climatic, a musician, producer and video-artist out of Cologne, Germany on the 4mpo label sends me on a natural high!
The first track off of the Incanto CD “Left”is one that has feels ambient, mixed with contemporary jazz, but in a very good way.
The 2nd track “Oblivion” has a Samba type feel that is enchanting, With such a warm feel. The title is appropriately named as it takes me into a oblivion world of floating freedom. I gotta say big ups to my homie Durell for turning me on these cats!!!!! I wonder if I’m the only feeling this way about “Oblivion”
Oblivion:

The 3rd track “Che Cos’E” is a slick one with a sexy Spanish lady whispering some exotic utterances and then blesses the track with her sultry incantations.
Track 4 “Sideways” reminds me of a track that you might find on Sweetback’s 1st album if you were speed it up some.
Track 5 “Everything” is more of a deep house feel than the previous tracks. It works to expand the scope of the CD.
And then there’s numnber 6 “Yamo Ma”, that has very similar feel to “Oblivion”, but its a little more uptempo. Stil hot to death!!! Check it, tell me how you feeling this one:
P.S.. Dude killing that sax huh?

Track 7 “Juanita” has these underlying keyboards that provide a soundscape of a night highway ride through my favorite metropolis.
Track 8 “Too High” provides a dance energy to get you up and out yo’ seat.
Track 9 “Twister” continues the dance energy. Eventhough it really isn’t a broken beat track, I get a broken-beat feel. I guess they way in which the keyboards are being striked gives that to me.
Track 10 “Hazy Days” has a rather unique beat structure to me and the vocalist plays it on the slower tempo portion, which is interesting as it could be taken on the slower or the faster tempo. This is what makes this an ultra-track!!!
Track 11 “Gibraltar” exudes ambient mid-tempo with a couple of different sounds thrown in, but in a way that comes out sounding melodic. I don’t know how he does it though.
Track 12 – Climatic even has a hot drum-n-bass track called “Abstract Truth”…this jawn is sick!!!
Abstract Truth:

Track 13 “You Rescued Me” has a cool downbeat bassline. Dude’s vocals convey a melancholy feel, I guess that was his aim, as if he wanted to be rescued.
Track 14 “Last Exit” is a good outro track with a classic downbeat feel.
I’m loving this CD!
P.P.S…The album cover is enchanting
