To say that
“Books” has beats is to say that a zebra has stripes. While both might be true statements, they
don't fully encompass all of the aspects of the music or animal. There are ambient and even ominous tones to
this music, which can change levels from dance to relaxing. I almost want to call it trance, but it also
borders on hip-hop on some levels.
Throughout
the various sounds and progressions, you can be taken many different places and
one of them is certainly into outer space.
Perhaps the best quality of this piece of music is that while listening
to it for the first time, I immediately knew I wanted to listen to it again to
see where else it could take me.
“Books” by
Raica is to be best experienced through headphones. It is available on cassette, though I am
reviewing it via compact disc (Don't ask, long story), so I do fully plan on
getting this as a cassette and so should you.
I also have a feeling that I will now be comparing music such as this to
Raica now for some time to come.
