Flowers - (6:16)
Ripple Marks Dub - (5:32)
Review: The Flowers EP is the third straight release by Japanese producer Takafumi Noda, aka Mystica Tribe, on Dutch label SD. He opens the EP with pumping movements of acid, met with jazzy hi-hats and other live, acoustic percussion. "Ripple Marks Dub" is similar to Fluxion's work on fellow Dutch label Echocord, only jazzier, while the gentle Buddha Bar loops of "Fractale" chime with a pleasant and liquid warmth. The EP's final track "Moon & Stone" then slows down for a dub riddim production undoubtedly inspired by King Tubby.
