The Ananda Project - Relight flac mp3 download

After the letdown of MORNING LIGHT, Chris Brann's Ananda Project lets loose with another remix album, aptly titled RELIGHT. Brann's own remixes deepen the original tracks quite a bit, as with "Secrets," "Suite Dreams," and “Can You Find the Heart,” but the new tracks, such as the African-Latin groove of “Wasting My Love” or electro thump of "Shouldn't Have Left Me" also stand out. But the outside remixes really make the most impact, like the deep and throbbing Cottonbelly Dub of "I Hear You Dreaming" or Eric Kupper's heavy for the dancefloor version of "Kiss Kiss Kiss." But on the second disc, the big guns come out, both in terms of classic tracks (from his first album RELEASE) and remixers. “Breaking Down” gets a driving mix from Richard Morel, and “Cascades of Color” goes dark, courtesy of Wally Lopez. G-Pal gives a nice tech rub to “”Falling For You,” but, not surprisingly, the Timewriter takes the prize with his smooth mix of “Glory Glory,” taking the edge off the cheesy lyrics. “In the Skies” merges African lyrics and rhythms with dreamy chords, and the Kyoto Jazz Massive “D&B mix” of “Bahia” isn’t drum and bass at all, but is instead jazz-inflected house, and the closing track, “Fantasy Suite,” continues that, sounding almost like Blaze. Overall, RELIGHT brightens up the MORNING LIGHT quite a bit.
