Flute. A fizz of dubbed-out percussion. Skanking keys. Strings, sighs and wordless harmony. Brenda`s beloved “shimmering top end”. The music winking sexily. Whispering pillow talk. A late Summer`s night dream. The first two tracks exuding a definite dusk ambience. The more urgent Skip Hop To Bop moves slinky. Like House with its kick stripped away. Scat vocals. Melodica. A lullaby on vibes. Echoing Ennio Morricone`s poignant cinematic pocket watch chimes.

'.......... Brenda B Ray returns with three more Balearic spellbinders... "Solartude" eases us in slowly with a limping, soft arpeggio that's shrouded in chimes and a growing orchestral warmth, "Space Dustin'" removes any traces of drum for an ambient sojourn into a night sky as the strings take a back seat for swooning moments of melted vocal harmonisation. "Skip Hop To Bop" closes on an upbeat note with a layered synths tease back and forth over roomy kicks and majestic beds of chimes. One of a kind'.

....keen to capture the coastal cool....... Aficionado summon strange-wave sorceress Brenda Ray for another hit of her interplanetary excellence. Wandering from new age haze to celestial rays on this tripped out trio, our genre blending genius takes the fourth world into the fifth dimension of psychedelic sound.
.......... 'Solartude', an out-of-body beauty bathes us in swirling flute, dreamy chimes and shimmering tape delay before sending us off towards the Orient. Eastern tones and hushed vocals ride a glistening sequence in this flawless fusion of exotica and dub.......
'Space Dustin', a lunar lullaby for lucid dreamers.... floating free of space and time, perhaps you too can glimpse the excellent birds.
.... the temperature begins to rise. 'Skip, Hop To Bop' sees Brenda dabbling with dub Techno, setting Basic Channel synths and stirring strings to a skittering rhythm. Dislocated and disoriented we descend into a strange subterranean world of Rothschild parties, Lynchian noir and muffled Techno. surrounded by swirling voices, shuffling percussion grabs hold of you and all that remains is to sway.
