Ashley Paul's 'Slow Boat' LP on Orange Milk

Thanks to Keith for sharing this.
Ashley Paul's 'Slow Boat' LP

This is a good comeback album, haha. I am a bit ill today. Caught a flu. I woke up very late. Then I moved to the kitchen and had some coffee. I am now listening to this album. And I want to go back to bed. Then wake up again. Then move to the kitchen again. Then have some coffee again. Then go to the bed again. Then wake up again. Then move to the kitchen again. Then have some coffee again. Then and then and then and again and again and again. This is a pure circling meditation soundtrack. The meaninglessness of human life has no taste indeed. Or maybe the taste of morning coffee.
Here is it - Slow Boat.

Giant Claw - Midnight Murder, Orange Milk 2011

Keith kindly sent me one of the latest cassettes released on Orange Milk label.
Here it is:

Giant Claw - Midnight Murder, Cassette

This 7-track album is something very special. Here are all three kinds of music I love: synth/electronic journeys, dancy compositions built on mouthwatering beats, and psychedelic (and a bit tropical) soundscapes.
The sound on this tape is almost always well-calibrated. Classical synth constructions suddenly fall from the skies and show a real earthy drama. Each track is full of climactic points instantaneously mollified by the nimble and clear tones. Nevertheless, rad and hard-hitting jar and jarring lap up tranquil electronics, which fondly peep from between the theurgic sound curtains and make us dance twitchy summer dances!
This is a smart, masterful and at the same time absolutely bright, summerish record. 
My favorites: dramatic drums in the second half of the second track and mysterious vibes of 'Aqua bats'.
You can watch a video on 'Big Crush' by Moduli TV here.

Giant Claw is a project led by Keith Rankin. He also co-runs Orange Milk and edits Tiny Mix Tapes.
Buy this tape from the label.
