Good downtempo works with a world feel,
This review is from: Bass Sweat and Tears (Audio CD)
This is a good album if you like electronic semi-ambient downtempo chill music. There are some excellent tracks on it. I particularly like the more dubby efforts. The artist seems to have collected various "ethnic" sounds, contributors, melodies and samples and meshed them with deep dubs and slowjams. It all sounds very nice.
If I have any criticism it's that this world-music/downtempo thing has been done to death already. I can't quite get the image of tie-died trustafarians sagely nodding away imagining they are "embracing other cultures" by buying a CD out of my mind. But cynicism aside, for what it is, it's really pretty good. I was pleased to hear European influences like flamenco rather than just the usual Eastern "mystical" samples which often reduce 1000's of years of culture down to a 10 second snippet to entertain white-dread stoners.

GAUDI - BASS, SWEAT & TEARS,
By Amazon Music Reviewer (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bass Sweat and Tears (Audio CD)
The London based Artist / Producer's latest moves like a sleeping beast in a fantasia garden: a hallucinatory, dubbed ritual backed by serious drum beats and layer upon layer of nomadic texturing. A world traveller, by craft and sound, Gaudi explores a host of styles in the context of heady bass tones and emerges with an aural masterpiece. He makes the low-end a home to return to while globetrotting to Spain, Brazil and India, recreating various forms of devotional music in his own homegrown context.As the name implies, this is an emotional experience. Rooted in chest frequencies, Gaudi's got the heart to take on shifty demons. Through these dark waters he configures a near-scientific equation with no answers, no results, only one determination: to lay low this world with rhythms as foundational, as seismic, as the underlayers of the ground we tread. Rising from this soil is a tree with strange, yet oh-so tasteful, fruit. This album is a gem!

GAUDI's album "BASS, SWEAT & TEARS" (Interchill),
By A Customer
This review is from: Bass Sweat and Tears (Audio CD)
I was waiting for this new Gaudi's release and finally I have bought it!!! This is simply one of the best album I have ever heard!!! I understand that a statement like this could sound a bit too much, ........but if you listen to "Bass, Sweat & Tears" you will realise that what I am saying it is not exagerated at all. It has everything in it: beautiful sounds, fantastic production, incredible songwriting and an amazing innovative formula of "world-music" between traditions and futurism. 10/10 F.R
