"In Transition" by SRM (Electronic Artist from Texas(TX))

RadioIndy is pleased to present SRM with a GrIndie Award for their CD "In Transition"
 
"In Transition" by SRM is creative collection of psychedelic ambient electronic tracks with a sense of humor. Combined with the strangeness are jazz and adult contemporary elements that make this album pretty unique. The sound is very "Classic 80's" both in the choice of synths and arrangements. There is a nice tug-of war between intensity and relaxation throughout the album. It works well. As a track ends and a new one begins, you have no idea what you are getting. Highlights are "Fishfin" with a wonderfully monotonous bass line, subtle intense synth strings and a few other cool ambient elements. "Really Cheesy Theater Theme" is so out of place that it works, with its hokey beat and surf guitar. "Jasper Did Once, But He Don't Do No More" has a tricky little beat and keeps you on your toes. If you enjoy finding creative ambient electronic music, you'll enjoy this CD.
