Ugochill: Theory of Relaxivity

Hailing from a variety of Eurocapitals, Ugochill exercise their wide spectrum of musical credentials on this excellently produced album. It’s one of those records that stubbornly refuses to be pigeon-holed but conjures up at different moments vivid images from the whole gamut of rock’s history and styles. It’s a perfect means of transporting oneself down memory lane while at the same time keeping one’s feet planted firmly on the ground of 21^st century production standards and keeping a sense that one is listening to something totally fresh and original. I’d go as far to say that Ugochill have selectively plundered the caverns of Rock Treasures from Prog and Soul to Hip-Hop and Techno and transformed their loot into New Music of the highest quality. Every track, including a brilliant cover of Lennon’s ‘Mind Games,’ creates its own particular groove which runs for just the right length of time – when it’s finished, you’re satisfied and ready to move on to the next one. This is quite a rare feature for records from all but a handful of Top Artists – most records tend to rattle the same sabre relentlessly until one’s thoroughly run through and wanting never to hear another song from that album! But Ugochill ring the changes with such deftness that it’s difficult to believe they could ever equal the feat and produce a record of similar standard. But I bet they will!
