CD1, compiled by our very own
Leigh Wood, showcases some of the best eco-world compositions around. The contemporary beats and sensual vocals of these beautiful tracks will ease the mood and lighten the atmosphere of any modern day space - it’s the perfect Friday night sigh!
CD2, compiled by Ben Mynott of Fragile State, embraces all that is Zen. Like a body of water that flows as one, so to do the tracks in this mix – pouring forth in perfect unison with the sound-space they share. Re-establish your connection to the elemental life.
"The musical equivalent of an oasis, Eco-Zen is exactly what the name implies. The album, put together by Leigh Wood and Ben Mynott, is a moment’s quiet reflection in a time of chaos and the never ending now. It’s aurally stunning sound scapes - some oriental, some arabesque, some Celtic, some without boundary - create a genuine sense of tranquillity and serve, no matter what your mood, to smooth over your surroundings, settle the clamouring voices, truce the war inside your head. I realise this all sounds very daisy chains and peace on earth happy hippy crap, but even this old cynic found respite in the folds of this offering. Sometimes you just need to disengage your brain, let the engine idle for a while, and languish in the beauty of something created without you in mind. It serves each to their own, to the individual’s demands, and asks nothing in return. Think of it as reusable Valium." - THE THEORY, BEAT PRESS
