Global Underground : Afterhours Vol2

Every so often, the Global Underground series comes out with a sampler for about £5 (both Arrivals and Departures are also worth tracking down). This is the latest, and pretty damm fine it is too.

Some Amazonian comments . . . .

--------------------------
Talk about dark. They should have called it After AFTER hours. It goes from lazy, to a sort of dramatic mourning feel, then a little sexiness... and for the most part the whole thing just sounds kind of EVIL. I just picture someone laying on the floor in a drug haze, spiraling down the rabbit hole. Either that or people sitting at 8AM in silence at a club with a wicked grin, bobbing to the beat.
-------------------------
Picture yourself at 10am, driving home from the club, most likely a high energy night. You want to keep the vibe going but you've had enough of the hard hitting trance and in-your-face breaks for one majestic night. What to do? The AfterHours series was created for this reason, and they did a damn good job. So, before ingesting yet another capsule make sure to pop in your AfterHours CD (no pun intendend). BTW: If you're sober now, this CD brings you back to those majestic nights.
-------------------------
Disc 1 gives you an introduction to dark ambient, including a timeless masterpiece by boards of canada, Roxy Music (!) and Tricky. Very emotional. Some tracks remind me the "Force Tracks" ambient era.
Disc 2 goes from trip-hop to electronic dance music, with some dark tinges.
Afterhours 2 has marked a hiatus with my electronic music taste. Now I'm trying to find moody but "intelligent" artists. I don't like dance music or progressive anymore. And that's a step forward, for me.
