A Deep Sense of Tranquility and Contentment Pervades elshuffles’ Ambient Techno Track “months of electronic dreams”

An immediate sense of warmth and granular tone sets the mood from the beginning of elshuffles’ “months of electronic dreams.” White noise, tape hiss, however it was accomplished lends an analog quality to a track that goes on to provide impressionistic, minimal techno melodies and percussive arpeggios over an abstractly melodic drone that pulses in the background and settles down into a flowing wash at points. And all along there’s a sense of movement that pulls the song out of the earlier, dreamlike haze into passages of tranquil clarity. The title of the song suggests the vibe in general of compressing those feelings into a song just over four minutes long but in the dream state time is an illusion and one can experience it all in capsule or in the expanded sense of consciousness and retain the little joys and deep sense of peace the song offers beginning to end.
