Music of the Smoky Rainbow

by Roy Mattson

supported by
Lost Tribe Sound
Lost Tribe Sound thumbnail
Lost Tribe Sound Solid album of lush rain forest heavy rhythms from Mattson. Well recorded and composed, the percussion is mixed in such a way that it seems to cradled the noggin as moss coated nuggets of wooden objects tap dance on your brain. Love that Mattson kept the atmospherics to a minimum and let the percussion become the main focus. Reminds me of the lighter side of Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, D.K, or even a horn-less Jon Hassell.

Frank Inzan Owen There is a faint line where music crosses over into ritual; where rhythm, initially, destabilizes the usual parameters of mind (so often firmly-affixed to ordinary reality), relaxes them, and eventually ushers the listener into new dimensions and levels of experience. The album does that. It is a creativity-kindler, a stress-reliever, a dream-conjurer. This music is medicine. Ride the Smoky Rainbow. Favorite track: Rainbow Smoke.
