It Came from the Sea , but it stays in my player
Jay Dee | 11/05/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It came from the Sea is the second "Bonobo" that I own .I bought Animal Magic after hearing it in a Limo on the way to Chicago O'Hare.

I checked out Amazon for new tunes and found It came from.. and after sampling on the sight decided to buy. This CD would be at home in a club ,kinda sounds like a one off, or at a dinner party.There's no other way to describe it.All of the songs overlap(the melt into each other and there are no breaks.

You start off with Solid Steel Intro- kinda like A.Magic a short welcome then here we go.

Soundcastles- Imagine being in the Carribean

Flutter- kind of a lead off into--

Exploration- Neill Armstrong? a heavier beat some middle eastern influence

leading into

5)Pick up- here it gets interesting a quick social note almost like Dinosaurs from Animal magic into a downbeat with layered synth rhytm

(very cool)

Rolls right into 6)Hey Mr Bundle another get along well please but very quick and unobtrusive social note into

7)Score- kinda jazzy latin definitely could be played live keeps going as 8)Les Fingres

on then to a huge change into a "clubby" 9)Munchies' think non repeating Reggae Rap in a club. this is the only track that has "true" lyrics

next and smoothly into 10)Soul Call 11)Hidden and 12)Recurring

This is a really cool part of the CD its still a club type mix but sooo smooth, these really flow together 13)Change Down - exactly changes down into the Sugar Rhyme (Animal magic ) but its changed from Animal Magic and right much more palatable ,,,slide into 14)Jazz juice- very Latin/ Carribean/ possibly Cuban type influence, kinda gives a break with some jazz speech on astrology which is another "Intro" for a very sultry Cuban night life type track 16)I know a little Cuban fades on into a very "metro" club light show but chill type 17)Change is what we need.

and then out of no where comes Amon Tobin 18)Easy Muffin.

I have no idea how Bonobo gets 17 to blend into 18 but he does.

18) Easy Muffin is very heavy built up synth but the beat is not pounding

it's "very" smooth a little of what sounds like a clarinet and a sax I can't explain but to say it's Amon Tobin , 19)Paths in soft focus kinda Amon Tobinesque but different .This is the wind up part of the CD with 20)Otter's pool being the last track kind of a harp on acid? if you will .Not my favorite but sort of like leaving the theatre after the movie.

Don't think I cater to this type of music strictly this CD is right beside my Godsmack,Incubus,Flyleaf,Garbage,Evans Blue etc..

For driving and most definitely for chillin this and Animal Magic are EXCELLENT especially for the variety and the fact that every song blends to the next on "it came from the sea" for a solid Hour. try the Amazon samples. I hope this helps, enjoy.

Warning: This is not a Bonobo CD

"This is not a CD of music created by Bonobo. It is a collection of electronic music/dance tracks selected and put together by Bonobo. Solid Steel has a series of electronica dj remix CDS and this is the 7th in the series. I was disappointed because I didn't realize it when I bought the CD. I thought I was getting another CD in the same class as Dial M for Monkey, which is just a fantastic album. I definately recommend getting a "real" bonobo CD rather then this dance mix. However, if you are in the mood for a dance mix, this CD is a good collection of tracks, blended together well for a nice 60 minute electronica dance jam. I was a little bit disappointed that the karminsky experience's exploration was included here. This track was already used in Thievery Corporation's DJ Kicks dance remix from 1997. It sounds a little bit dated here. This CD is very similar to the remix CDs that Thievery Corporation did (e.g. DJ Kicks and Outernational Sound). If you like those albums you will like this album. The key thing is to realize you are not getting a typical Bonobo CD here."
Great
