What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Swiftly moving onto Milieu who is our current lord of all thing ambient. You want ambient electronics then this guy sits in his fluffy clouds creating ambient lovelyness for you to make bobs with. Yes this is sleepy time music and very very good sleepy time music. It makes Yellow 6 sound like Slayer in fact. The warm textures and lushness created by this guy is incredible. We're massive fans of his work here and it's about as good as ambient music gets we reckon. I played some of this guys stuff while the wife was in labour and it helped her no end. The midwife asked what it was cos she liked it too! So this will appeal to the nurse in you (there's a bit of nurse in all of us...). Of The Apple is CD only and limited to just 300 copies....

What the label says:

The long-awaited release of Milieu's ambient opus for organ and guitar is finally here. Lush formless melodies intertwine with salt-water erosion and reverbs that touch the stars, recorded completely with only guitar, organ and cassette tape. Milieu visits an idyllic landscape completely removed from all civilization and Of The Apple is the solitary document
of such a place. Like a lost message in a bottle, a white sun setting over a blue ocean, or a treehouse asleep in a giant sequoia, this album is an absolute essential for anyone fond of Brian Grainger's ambient work.  Pressed on 300 colorful digipaks with beautiful photography by Luke Hazard (Ourson, Earstroke Records) and a special guest appearance by David Tagg.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
