ULTRA MILKMAIDS celebrate their fifteenth sound carrier anniversary on white vinyl. Always unpredictable and surprising, this French project return to their roots and their first musical affection - abstract and ambient music - and this album marks a perfect bridging between both of these electronic subgenres. Starting with "Elixir"'s beautiful melancholic string arrangements, the listener's journey continues with clicks and cuts blending into slow, majestic piano melodies and post-psychedelic sound walls ("This Is Time"). Let yourself flow with a little "Injection" (No.1) of soothing guitar drones and dive deeply into DC Hammond's keyboard layers, discrete and melodic at the same time. Follow the path of the reverberated guitar pads on "Cotton Energy", and before getting lost, see the drones reappear, surrounded with ruminant synth lines. Open up, let yourself go, and - as the artists advise - 'disconnect your mind and fall into the world of the MILKMAIDS'!
