Review

On their debut album, Lucid Dreams, southern California's Alias Zone mixes samples in real time loops and digital processing, topped off with flutes, bass, and beat poetry. That results in the swampy, murky moods of "Phungue" with dub bass lines, Indian and conga drums, and the swirling, electronically extended flute of Richard Bugg. Textures swirl and mutate, instruments morph, and sound effects roll across the stereo spectrum in a hallucinogenic stream of consciousness that owes a debt to Bill Laswell beyond the loops of his that are actually sampled here. Despite all the technology and post-production mixing, the music is born in collective improvisation, and that gives Alias Zone a more fluid feel than most electronica/ambient albums. In particular, flutist Bugg and bassist Lucky Westfall move intuitively through the landscapes of Chris Meyer's digital mix-mastery. --John Diliberto
