Kukan Dub Lagan - New Life New Vision download free

Kukan Dub Lagan - New Life New Vision Recommendation: There are absolutely no doubt, Itay Berger has upgraded his skills in sound and production to a respected level. It’s actually quite impressive as there are so many nicely layered parts with computer noises to acoustic instruments wrapped in organic paper and smoked in a weird but nice fashion. For the doubters of Kukan's complexity in sound and production, he is now proving his worth in making something utterly professional and charming. For some his previous outputs became albums hard to connect to because of their personal feel and vibration which for some can remain a problem. As with Bluetech’s latest output The Divine Invasion, Kukan simply reflects his soul when making music. So if you don’t fancy his sound and don’t really care about his improvement in complexity and detail because the overall feel is not for you, then you’re excused and may leave the table - Because what comes from within is nicely portrayed in Itay’s musical art. That said, in New Life New Vision you can really feel and hear that his journey is settling in, what comes in the fourth and fifth round is hard to predict, but it can only become finer. As all outputs by Kukan, this album seems very personal and a sort of a special tribute to his family, especially his daughter who has properly joined in to help her father make sounds and dances. Itay with his Kukan Dub Lagan project manages to make Electronic Reggae PsyDub in his own fashion and you will recognize the Kukan vibe from far away and he succeeds in doing so with a certain sense of style and pride. This is undoubtedly oldskoolish in smell yet totally new in context and look. He makes his Reggae dub unique and very different from his peers inside the Electronic scene. It’s a million times more complicated than his debut and a notable upgrade from his second album. Something worth mentioning is the mastering which is respectfully done by Jeff Lipton who also did a superb job on the ‘Easy Star All-Stars – Radiodread’ album (The group who made a dub version of Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, or Dub Side of the Moon as they named it). When it comes to my own personal complaints, I feel that the overall feel of the album is of lack of that sunny and dreamy sound which I initially fell in love with. It tends to walk to slow with a tad gloomy feel and doesn’t really excite my pants as much as I wanted it too. It sort of feels to tired, which properly reflects the exhausting but joyful job of being a proud new parent. Also the overall variation is something I feel his albums from Life is Nice to this one has always been lacking. It comes off as sounding maybe a bit boring and similer as it progresses to it's end. But of course, an album like this can only grow on you with it's massive charm. When speaking of the albums progression and story, I think he should have built the album differently. Maybe started it with stoned tired vibes and let it evolve into something more awake and energetic. Like setting the mood to another stage and freeing the soul instead of slow walking it back into sleep. I’m not a good criticizer, so I don’t want to tell the man how to do his job. But for me this and his last output didn’t catch me on the personal plane so much. But you know the old saying, taste is like the ass, it’s separated in two and in most cases it stinks (hehe). Kukan Dub Lagan has like mentioned many times before improved his sound and quality. Each release raising the bar from the last one, an evolution we all can respect and enjoy. As for his creativity I got to admit that his third release seems to have combined all of Itay’s experiences and wisdom to create a sound that sounds nothing like someone else, and for that I tip my beanie in awe and respect. I think that Itay with his own evolution of life is trying to progress each step further and further without losing what makes him, him. Kukan’s unique psychedelic dub sound gives a lot of pleasure and amusement to the ones who are willing to join his journey in sonic visions. In my personal taste so far, I love his first album because of nostalgic memories and it's power to be something very new and different, I didn't really like his second album although it had it's moments, and I find this third to be much bettter then the second but still in lack of something to make me love it. Let me finish off my long and maybe defused review by telling you a secret. –Itay is now working on a remix album to Kukan Dub Lagan's debut, Life Is Nice. Let’s see what will come out of that!!
