Plains Druid Wants You To Get Lost
4.28.14 by Ian Franklin

There is a certain charm to a C10, or even a C12. It’s concise and upfront. It doesn’t make excuses or unnecessary delays. It’s a minutely porous construction which is presented and burned away in a fantastic immediacy. A C125 on the other hand (holy shit, 125!?!?), that’s a whole different beast entirely. You can get lost in a 125. You can lose yourself in a 125. And I think that’s exactly what Plains Druid’s new release “Super Real Islands” on Blue Tapes is hoping to achieve.

UK’s Blue Tapes’ 11th release is “Super Real Islands”, a pro dubbed edition of 100 each with unique artwork as an accompaniment to the luscious synth explorations within. Fantastic drones swirl all around your three dimensional aural cavities, flowing over each other in wave after wave of pulse width modulation. Drizzled with fluttery arpeggiations and swashes of filtered noise, harmonious melodies drift and sway in the summer breeze. Rhythmic structures develop and pulse with a lifelike quality, propelling the journey farther forward. Spontaneous House-like variations are woven into digital polysynth bath with staccato pulses of bass drum. Serious head zones lay within. Recommended listening for all body travelers, space jumpers, projection analysts, and office employees.
