Morpheus Music review april 2007
www.morpheusmusic.co.uk
Style:
Downtempo trippy, chillout with some imaginative organic performances on flute and other instruments. The album opens with some beautifully atmospheric flute lines and echoing exotic percussion - breathy phrases curl and breeze through the air. The album delivers a well balanced fusion of electronic programming and organic instrumentation. The drums often have a 'live' sound to them, embellished with a variety of ethnic and synthetic layers. There is plenty of repetition employed in the track structures, brief motifs and arpeggios rolling in hypnotic revolutions - the emphasis often on rhythm and mood rather than melody. Abundant use of sharp effects creates a depth and sense of distance, the occasional spoken voice sample meandering between tracks, introducing what is to come. Most tracks interfade creating a fluid listening experience from start to finish.
Mood:
Upsyde Downe delivers a busy series of psychedelic aural environments where the quality or nature of the sound is of equal importance with any tunes being unfolded - the lush multilayered tracks are dripping with detail, surrounding the listener, mesmerising and beguiling. There is an underlying global thread taken up by instruments such as the didgeridoo and ethnic percussives - but also the electronica itself has an exotic nature to it, unusual voices and tribal patterns thickening the spell.

Very exciting album. Innovative, full of ideas, very psychedelic, very atmospheric. Indeed one of the best offerings in years. Thanks to the Peak crew. Amazing artwork too!
Keep up good work guyz.

i must say based on the glowing reviews here, I had high hopes for this and it delivered big time!
tragically few of the releases I buy get previewed this way but...I listened to this one 'proper';) and i was quite blown away.
I've always been into live instrumentation + electronica and would love to see this up close, in person.
great stuff, no complaints or suggestions everything was smooth groovin' all the way. cant wait to play some for the desert dwelling freaks later this year! 
forgot to mention...
the sound on this is sooo good, I knew I was in for a real treat when I saw huby and vince had a hand in mastering. and did I mention the art? niiiiiice!
