Heroes of The Galeon Trade - Winter Island Romance by ATELIER PROTOTIPI

Golf Channel just keep on delivering the goods, this time coming up with an absolutely beautiful duo of tracks from this mysterious production outfit. "Neptune's Last Stand" features a gently rocking a sea shanty sway, acoustic picking, twangy whammy bar guitar shimmers and some ooohing and aaahing and a bit of spoken word that will have you becalmed in no time. Lush and dreamy. In contrast, "Winter Island Romance" ups the pace and is equal parts psychedelic disco-rock and Pink Floydesque epic. By the time the chorus-not-chorus from Leron Thomas kicks in you'll surely be lost in a lysergic lollop or just plain face-down with the breadth of the whole sonic scenario.
