pan american - 360 Business/360 Bypass - double rail

pirms doties sapņu pasaulē.(gribēju šo iepostēt vakar, bet kaut kas nojuka)

On all three of his releases, the eponymous 1998 debut record, 2000's 360 Business/360 Bypass, and 2002's The River Made No Sound, Mark Nelson [the author of PAN AMERICAN solo-project] has created brilliantly minimal compositions of hypnotic, ambient drift that slither dangerously around the edges of your consciousness. Hot velvet night rhythms move slow like a snaky two-lane road through the jungle at night. On either side lie odd moonlit musical landmarks: muted hard bop cornet flourishes by Chicago underground jazz legend Rob Mazurek, funereal vocals by Low's Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk, lonesome after-hours piano, cool accents of acoustic guitar and pedal steel, sci-fi soundtrack bleeps and squiggles. The mood is exotic, but you won't be a safe, comfortable tourist in the tropical, unfamiliar landscape Pan-American inhabits. It may be slow and ambient, but it isn't quite chill-out music; there's always a hint of the unknown and unpredictable, the dark and seedy, the life that unfolds in the shadows just beyond your sight.
