ULTRA MILKMAIDS. medecine. 12" lp. ant-zen act238

ultra milkmaids (or the milkies, as they are fondly called by some of

their fans) celebrate their 15th sound carrier anniversary on white

vinyl (and in digital format to those who have made it successfully

into the digital age). always unpredictable and surprising, the french

project strikes forward with a brand new path here - or possibly a path

that leads like a circle back to their long deleted 'borray' release?

with 'medecine' the milkies 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 with slow, majestic

piano tunes and post-psychedelic sound walls (this is time). let

yourself flow with a little help of a little injection (n 1) of

soothing guitar drones, 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, the

drones reappear, surrounded with ruminant synth lines. this second

injection provides the opportunity to end this journey, or to flip the

record and start again. this record can be used as an analeptic and

sedative at the same time. open up, let yourself go, and - as the

artists advise: 'disconnect your mind and fall into the world of the

milkmaids'!
