Free Music Notes for Triptych: Mixed By Fred DeakinFree Music Review: 3 CDs - 3 new Lemon Jelly Breezeblocks! Hit: 5 Stars
I am a huge fan of the Breezeblock, heard on BBC's Radio 1 station. Besides Lemon Jelly, I've heard Breezeblocks by Four Tet, Propellerheads, Roni Size, Groove Armada, and more. The Lemon Jelly Breezeblocks are by far my favorite - they seem to pick tunes that are incredibly relevant to my interests.
These CDs are like recorded Breezeblock sets, so if you've heard any Lemon Jelly Breezeblocks and enjoyed them, you will definitely enjoy Triptych. Some of the tunes will be recognizable as ones that made it on the Breezeblock sets. 3 CDs FULL of a HUGE range of musical styles, all selected and mixed by the wizard Fred Deakin. One one single CD you can hear classic Technotronic, Bananarama, Living Colour, Dudley Moore (on the piano), the P Funk All-Stars, Ramsey Lewis, and George Michael! There's literally something for everyone - I really anticipate putting these on in the background for small social gatherings and watch people's reactions. It's just such an incredible mix of a variety of genres - at times I find it incredible how the tunes transition - on CD 1 you go from a popular Penguin Cafe Orchestra tune straight into a Pete Seeger rendition of "Ode to Joy" on the banjo! And it always works.
I would say this CD falls in the chill-out/trippy/laid back category, and nearly every tune is catchy and enjoyable, in my opinion of course. Highly recommended for anyone who is familiar with Breezeblocks, or anyone else looking for a one-of-a-kind mix of an incredibly diverse selection of electric and acoustic genres spanning approximately 30 years ago to the present. The $35 price tag is a little daunting, but if the artists on the CDs are of interest to you, pick this up - highly recommended.
Triptych: Mixed By Fred Deakin PosterAbsolutely amazing and eclectic three CD collection, lovingly compiled and mixed by Fred Deakin, one half of Lemon Jelly (and founder of the design company Airside). The Triptych consists of 90 tracks lovingly mined from Fred's vast record collection and then mixed to perfection over three discs for your listening pleasure. The design of the limited edition clamshell box set is all by Fred and it includes a 20 page booklet with a note from Fred on why he chose every single track on the album. Like any serious music collector, Fred's tastes are varied and this triple disc set features a great variety of artists including XTC, Tim Hardin, The Isley Brothers, Madness, Rick James, Spirit, Cornershop, Miriam Makeeba, The Selecter, Pete Seeger, Steve Miller, The Rutles, Kenny Rankin, The Durutti Column, Michael Nesmith, George Michael, Kurtis Blow, Jesus & Mary Chain, Thin Lizzy, Bob Wills and many more. UMTV. 2007.
