Kimball Collins - ICU: Session, Vol. 1 (CD)

I’ll have a Collins.

Freshening up with a Collin- tall iced drink of soda water mixed with sugar lemon and gin while listening to Session One of Kimball Collins house and trance compilation seems almost perfect. It isn’t until you focus on the “sonic bliss” of the tr...acks that make the mood enduring. The level of BPM’s allotted to be dispersed in this CD reflects a lively, safe, friendly and welcoming feeling. Most importantly the overall tone exerts a firm grip on positive tones despite the comedic tune by Billy Hendrix, Body Shine. This tune resembles a humorous jester toward you but the overriding high notes supply you with the understanding that it was merely a joke. This in turn reinforces your confidence by making you feel at ease. Whether the listener likes it or not, a gingery feeling overcomes the agitation. Kimball Collins does an excellent job of elevating your melodic feelings by introducing echoic yet vibrant sounds. Café De Mar, Energy 52 is a catchy favored tune that is enjoyed by trance gurus and first time listeners. It is soundly attractive because the beats are directed to brighten your warm intuitions. These tones carry you off secretly into a surreal state then slowly allow you to open your eyes. You find yourself in a mysterious place where you can do and say anything so long as your high spirits approve. This compilation is a Mosaic of trance music. It is one of Collins masterpieces that should be sipped, savored and shared. Enjoy!Review by, JOEL ESPARZA Read more Less
