Pete Fowler's Monsterism Island
Much wacky baccy must have been consumed in the compilation of this record. Cardiff artist/ DJ/ crate-digging vinyl hound Pete Fowler’s first volume of Monsterism Island was full of obscure exotica and psychedelic records from the 60s that was perfect for accompanying his acid paintings. This second volume comprises all-new chillout instrumentals drawing on lounge, exotica, folk and plenty of inspiration from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, involving well known names like Cherrystones, Gruff Rhys, Luke Vibert, Circulus and Jerry Dammers, plus members of Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve and Future Sounds of London, to take an almost random selection of noggin busters. This nu-psychedelia doesn’t look back but builds on the dance and rave culture to create a new strain of mood altering mushroom music. There are some good individual tracks - Gruff Rhys’ synth wobbles and bleeps is a case in point - but its strength is in its numbers (27 to be exact); these are best absorbed after a night out, when you aren’t ready to sleep but don’t need too much more stimulation, or at Chloe Madeley’s next bong session.
