Another Interchill release on their mission to chill the world, it is a blessing as all of their previous ones I've heard. This time Andrew's doing it the rasta way with a dubby compilation filled with varied interpretation of the staggering wavy beats and floating delayed sequences originating from Jamaica. And varied it is, starting with more traditional dubby vibes, then touching some tribal influences with a side trip to more loungy spaces with Eat Static (T3) and the excellent Jumbo Layer track (T4). Then comes the most special track here, a crazy hypnotic chanting piece involving the legendary Jah Wobble, that is yet to return here. Lam Tam Way Dub is like nothing you've heard before, though it kinda breaks the flow of the music. Then things turn more psychedelic with the too weird Suns of Arqa track (T6) and two Ott tracks. The first is with Mr. Posford as Gargoyles- amazing moody mellow psydub piece, though the sexy samples in the middle don't fit the mood of the track, and ruin it a bit for me. Then it's the Twisted prodigy on his own, with Scilly Automatic (T8), an amazing psydub journey with a great sample. From here things stay pretty much excellent. Jah Wobble returns teaming with electronic world music guru Bill Laswell with the amazing penetrating mellow Orion (T9), Stress Assassin takes things to space, and Adham Shaikh supplies a real trip in Indian sounds (T11), till it ends with the psychedelic aquatic That Which I Could Only Sense.
Bottom line: great chilled varied psydub release that melts well few worlds of music. The beginning doesn't flow flawlessly, but then things just all fall into place, and it's a real joy, with some shining sparks of genius. Favorites: 3, 4, 5(!!!), 8(!), 9(!!), 10, 11(!!), 12.

I'm not an expert on Ambient (although i love it).
This Interchill compilation is close to perfection... all tracks are very nice and as shahar already said... t1 with some reggae beats , really good i enjoy it a lot.
Some tribal (reminds me an old cd i have Chants of the old indians , or something similar to it, 1994) and modern influences too... if you're looking for a new amb cd, that's the one u shoul pick 
*my prefs in order: 11 / 5 / 3 / 1 & 10 
we are one. |

Exchanged entheogenic [relax] for this, and am not dissapointed. But I am surprised this release did not receive that much attention, especially considering all the attention 'dub, sweat and tears" (also interchill) is currently receiving.... |

This release was great. I remember once driving at about 5 in the morning with my dad up to the country through the heaviest mountain fog I have ever experienced, and thinking that death could be really close. hehe. However, Talisman made that possibility that much more acceptable and natural.
One of the most beautiful driving experiences ever. Load Universe into Cannon. Aim at Brain. Fire.
