[.ca] Daydreams In Cold Weather

Low-grade ... retro electronica:
I bought this CD with the anticipation that I was going to hear something in the same style as Tejada's track "The Matrix of Us", featured on the 'Panatone' compilation. What I ended up hearing on this CD was a series of what sounded like a blind-folded goofball toying with a Yamaha keyboard at the local music store. Each tune, which none qualifying as "songs", lacked originality, depth, and tonality, as well as groove (which I thought was Tejada's trademark). John, go back to the studio and redeem yourself! I still have faith!

Just what I have been looking for:
'Daydreams in Cold Weather' is one of the finest purchases I have made in quite a while. Perfect for relaxing, reading, working on the computer, and of course, daydreaming. It is similar to Plaid, but more subtle. The album is very well rounded and even features the legendary Divine Styler on a track. Plug Research appears to be on top of their game. In fact I would say there seems to be some really quality American electronic labels now, with Ghostly International and Schematic doing their thing. If you are sick of chaotic, pretentious, so-called experimental, this is what you are looking for.

Good:
For fans of Soulo, Two Lone Swordsmen, Aphex Twin, Jean Michel Jarre, Future Sound Of London...this is something you can not miss. This is not your average electronic record. Tejada sets his own genre. I enjoy it after a hard day of work, even during work I enjoy it, it relaxes me, as well as bed time story for me to be put to sleep by. I love this cd, I hope you enjoy it, if you already own it, I recommend Soulo. If you are looking for fast attacking beats, this is not for you, if you are looking for a chill out, ambient style, then look no further. Later
