intro
Undemanding, but enjoying electronica/dance from Magic Panda, the nom de plume for lo-fi Norfolk-based musician Jamie robson
This debut album from Jamie Robson provides with us with some smooth, undemanding and mellow dance sounds to take us into the Summer doldrums with. Initially slightly bland, but very enjoyable though, it takes the better half of thirty minutes to bring in some true composition. 'Zwolf' and 'Luna Rosa' add an edge to the lush and comfortable beats and arrangements. The best balanced track is 'Temple of a Thousand Lights' itself where the percussion sounds brisky, the structure builds to more challenging sound and the production gets the best out of both. A digital download, so pick your favourite track.
