"Sky Over Sea" album review by SpaceCase









The title to Mingo's latest release "Sky Over Sea", suggests that this is a musical journey, by sky and sea. That would be an understatement. While this album does take you to the sky and sea, it starts out on a launchpad and blasts you into the cosmos. You observe the planet below for awhile as you share the orbit with the moon. Then, you descend back to mother earth, gently splashing down into the ocean. And towards the end of the album, you gently drift over the horizon into a land known only to Mingo.

While this album borrows in part from some of his previous releases, notably the ambient drifts of "The Once And Future World", and the tribal percussion from "Kailasa" - the first two tracks, "Candelabra Sky" and "The Beach House", are a welcoming departure from anything I've heard from Mingo's previous efforts. These first two tracks engage the listener with their hypnotic, electronic rhythm, while gentle ambient washes and tribalesque flute melodies fill out the rest of the track. It's as if you are observing the future and the past at the same time. And the rest of the album only gets better.

Truly another great album from Mingo. If you are unfamiliar with his work - this it the one you want to get.
