This week I picked up another Liquid Sound compilation. Which on the whole are amazing, this ones no exception. Plus I'd not realised until checking the credits that theres more Abakus on there under the guise of Nada, with Humphrey Bacchus, the man who compiled many of these compilations, and was helping running Liquid Sound for a good number of years.
01. Nada - Earth Garden
02. Mantra Man - Shivai
03. Nada - Raja Mati
04. Loop Guru - Climax (Youth & Humph's Remix)
05. Tripswitch - Exiled
06. Nada - Manakhana
07. J. Viewz - In The Mood
08. Adham Shaikh - Somptin Hapnin
09. Prometheus - Sweet Tooth
10. Tripswitch - Silver
Check the Liquid Sound homepage for more info, or Discogs. Also Discogs Marketplace is a decent place to find these compilations.
Here's a quote I pulled off Discogs,
Liquid Sound Design (LSD) releases is for me always interesting. Compiled
by Humph, he has again selected another list of impressive chilled journeys. I
also like the little drawings on the cover art done by Youth. Another great
chill out compilation here. A nice choice for your chill out in the sun, in the
park or wherever you want to relax. Most tracks have an ethnic touch, without
becoming "too much".
Sums this up nicely!

Such a lovely tune! After only discovering Abakus a few months ago, he's definitely shot up high in my all time faves. I must listen to his tunes a few times a day at least... trancendental biz that clears my head instantly!
Check out more of his tunes on Liquid Sound & Modus Records.
I was gonna put up his track 'Daybreak' but the sound quality on Youtube is poor, and it doesn't do it justice. I'll try find a good clip on the net, or try get in touch with the man himself, see if he'd allow a clip up.
Expect definitely a lot more praise from me soon!
