Endeavor primed right for an early-AM candlelight comedown

Richard Diaz | 11/26/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Making minimal, moody instrumental house, you ride a fine line between skillfully stripped down compositions and lifeless beat loops. Swedish duo YMC (by way of Deep Dish label Yoshitoshi Recordings) carefully avoid that trap - boring us - by packing each elongated piece with minute flutters and flares that subtly enhance their ideas.Lively and lovely, "Bluesless" proves breathtaking, snips of sax and chimes floating around a forlorn, rippled vocal. "Nightlife", with low-key shine and ambient dips, soothes like an aural bubble bath. The remaining tracks don't always match these moments, yet the full seventy-five minute effect of minor chords, simmering beats, and percolating semi-peaks ("Morning Lake") form an artist endeavor primed so right for an early-AM candlelight comedown. Well done."
