Zen Lemonade - Babylondon

Bali based duo Zen Lemonade (Gus Till & Super Cozi) are coming back with an absolutely fresh and groundbreaking album : "Babylondon".

"Babylondon" is an album that fuses dub bass lines with jazz played keyboards, atmospheric guitar riffs and solos, tribal percussions, exotic gamelan, smooth and silky vocals, real drums, electronic effects and processing, all in a very distinctive Zen Lemonade style !

"Babylondon" is an eclectic distillation of carefully selected music compositions that have blended over the period of the last 2 years. An album that has incorporated the latest digital workflow techniques with "traditional" studio recording methods used and developed over the last 50 years.

A unique crossbreed of analogue microphone recording techniques and digital wizardry.

10 fresh tracks that blend hi end technology with tribal elements and funky guitars under dynamic drum driven rhythms, all springled with a jazzy improvised touch and deep textures of clever electronica.

Journey begins with a sun drenched honey dripping vocal treat that prepares the ground for an exciting sonic route. Indeed !!

The listener sets upon a sonic voyage by deeply grounding roots with "Sky Dub". Crystal clear angelic voices prepare the listener to embark on a magic carpet ride. "The moon and a 1000 offerings" introduces the unique style that only Zen Lemonade can deliver ! Tribal roots layered with Jazz driven riffs and unique electronic trickery to name a few. "Petrushka" takes things further and introduces us into a new interpretation of electronic dub beats and guitar drives. Real organic bass takes the landmark Zen Lemonade dub sound to a whole new level.

(System 7) Steve Hillage is on arrpegiator guitar on the mellow "Verushka Pt.2".

System 7 landmark soundscapes effortesly blend with Zen Lemonade sweet ambience.

The album's title track "Babylondon" re-invents a new music genre, cross bridging fast paced spoken word along with a heavy bass bin friendly production and powerful guitar solos, in a dynamite rock your socks off combination.

An absolute electro thriller.

The story further unfolds with an action packed James Bond stylee classy dub: "For your digitalize only". "It doesn't matter" is up next and it's time to re-establish our vertical flight position and contact ground control. Steve Hillage joins forces and takes us on an epic ambient sonic journey as he only knows how . "Rodnet" spins us on a robot frenzy dance to outer space. Techno rhythm parts meet fat bass lines and metallic synths.

Back on earth with another sun drenched organic dub masterpiece. Sit back and enjoy a juicy cocktail while listening to "Fall Back In Time". Quality electronica at its best !!

To top things off in a genuine exotic dub style, the journey ends with a tropical uplifting, Egyptian influenced track "The Return of the Regyptian".

Special appearances by Steve Hillage (System 7) , Geoffrey Hales, Tim Valkenburg, Simon Polinski and Joe Creighton make "Babylondon" a unique album that fuses rock, jazz, breaks, techno, ambient and contemporary electronica.

Andrew Till (Psyharmonics) carefully crafted the "Babylondondon" artwork, cover and graphic design.

An album that gives the listener the option to listen to each track individually but also perceive the whole album as a unified journey, composed of various styles, as opposed to many releases now days which are just a collection of different tracks.
