Yeah, and I have always liked Laika. But in this case, and mind you i have
only heard the first song thus far, but that "Something about their
music..." that you say is "trippy, surreal" and ".....calming" , comes from
the band THE ORB. Check them out if you haven't. You won't have the ego of
Laika's vocalists to identify with (which is harmonically nice, and
tonally, and Lyrically sound as well) but if there was a source for the
beauty which is the "post-live ambient sound" (by post-live i mean mostly
sequenced, and sampled music; though i did see the ORB live with several
members playing and it was the most multi-sensory, awesome show I've ever
seen) as what you hear being so sublimely, and beautfully rendered here by
Laika, and their HEAVY INFLUENCES, then it is they whom I have mentioned
along with the original ambient master workers and their works, such as
perhaps throw some Brian Eno in there, a little bit of, I DUNNO, Philip
Glass MAYBE ! !, or my personal favorite, Weather Report's album Mysterious
Traveller, and yeah Miles Davis' '58 sessions, or hell even Buddy Rich's
version of Duke Ellington's Caravan, or if you would like to get WAY back
to the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL ambient masters, Claude Debussy ( the god OF
AMBIENT MUSIC ), or maybe Erik Satie, and perhaps even before those two,
God knows there were others! but I'm sorry I digress. Let me revert to
point; go get yo arse a taste of some "LITTLE FLUFFLY..." FREAKIN
"....CLOUDS" would ya??!?!?!?
I love Laika! Something about their music... trippy, surreal, and always
invokes a calming effect. It's my escape. Whenever I listen to them, it
makes me think of that soft bluish light that filters in through sheer
window curtains and into your bedroom at 5:00 in the morning: You want it
to last, it mesmerizes you, and later on you're not sure if it was real or
you dreamed it.
@CZ3001 laika were on the awesome TooPure label which were a bit of a
feeder record company really, pj harvey, stereolab, th' faith healers,
moonshake amongst others started on the TooPure label. i guess lamb became
more popular because they did a lot of club remixes of their songs.
Released: 1999 Genre: Electronic Style: Latin, Jazzdance, Big Beat Vocals: Julia Lara.
