Zwicker - Songs Of Lucid Dreamers download free

An appealing mix of downtempo with some electro bits and bobs, Zwicker's SONGS OF LUCID DREAMERS isn't really suited for dreaming. Dancing, maybe. But not so much dreaming. The mellow "Who You Are" and the archaic chords of "Wake Up" vibrate slowly under your feet, while "Oddity" gives into a funk bass, while singing about cosmetic surgery. But it's the African marimba and spoken word on "Dragon Fly" that really pokes its head out of the sand. The blippy "Sleepwalking" manages a nice balance of the electronic and the emotional, and "Ping Pong Muses" has a poppy feel that's actually pretty catchy. The stargazing quality of "Strangeways" and the burbling "Submarine Kabelgau" have more of the dreamy quality hinted at in the title, and the lazy gurgle of "Prism" is rather soothing. "Make it Happen" ends the album on a percolating note, replete with smooth vocals. The lucidity comes straight through.
