5.0 out of 5 stars In the Spirit and Vibe of the Cocteau Twins, July 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ever (Audio CD)

This CD is completelely astounding! Its a band with an incredibly talented vocalist and an instrumentalist who seem to be inspired on taking the Cocteau Twins style of ambient/gothic dream-pop to a whole new level. All of LSD's albums are worth owning for any fan of this genre. Ever is my favorite because it has the spiritual vibe of their first two albums with the electro-hypnotic sound of Flux. This particualar album is in my opinion the best of both worlds in that respect. Along with Ardor, its perfect for meditation. You may have an out-of-body experience if you listen too intently! I hope LSD's upcoming release is more balanced like this than having the strictly drum n bass sound of Flux.

For those people who are stressed out at any one point in their lives, they should look into this CD on the Projekt label. Projekt has published some very off-the-wall, not very well-known stuff in the past, but Love Spirals Downwards makes an album that anyone can enjoy. Like most Projekt titles, this one doesn't get the publicity it so rightly deserves.

This album is comparable to James Iha's "Let It Come Down" as far as relaxation is concerned. Each track flows, giving the listener a sense of floating, even euphoria. At some points the album seems to get Gregorian Chantish in a way, except there are no monks and no droning--just the two beautiful voices of Suzanne Perry and Ryan Lum. A quality album with quality music...just buy it. :)

Most cohesive of all of their releases, "Ever" represents the apotheosis of LSD's sound. Each track has a smooth and languid feel, the aural equivalent of feathers being levitated by a gentle zephyr, propelled along by Suzanne Perry's warm, ethereal voice. Mellower than LSD's previous releases yet more densely textured, each track possesses a timeless, expansive quality that guitarist Ryan Lum had been perfecting on "Idylls" and "Ardor". Well-crafted without being over-produced, and definitely music that manages to be both sensual and contemplative at once. The first two tracks "El Pedregal" and "Sideways Forest" set the tone for the rest of the disc, promising and delivering an atmospheric, evocative listening experience.
