The standout tracks from this release are:
Acclimate
Bellish tunes abound in this lovely sounding track that floats you away. A great starter that instantly grabbed me with its uplifting melodies.
The Grenabler
If you like your guitar solos, you’ll find much to like here. This track moves along swiftly starting with some delayed melodies and crunchy syncopated basslines before descending into a cool solo at around the half-time mark.
Cream
Snazzy sounding instrumental track that really gets you into the mood for chilling. Led by a great sounding trumpet solo, the different sections of the track meld together in perfect harmony.
Summer
Summer holds the right appeal if you like your music with a soft touch. The slow building melody and bass lines move in synchrony with the musical bed of sounds laid by the ever subtle percussion and pads. I liked the additional choirish vocals but felt that they could be exposed slightly more.
One small thing I felt that could have been done better for this album was the percussion. The percussion on most tracks always seemed like icing on the cake for me and was largely overshadowed by everything else. Having said that, Cool Aberrations is still a highly satisfying listen and a must for any CC music fan. To get more details about the album, you can check out the production log here courtesy of General Fuzz, who I also have to thank for this recommendation. Have fun listening to this one.
