The Impossible World by Combustible Edison - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

With their third album, Combustible Edison goes further out into the space/lounge realm than their initial releases (I, Swinge and Schizophonic) even hinted at. Continuing to be at the forefront of the so-called lounge revival, the band (which is really more like an art project) still embraces influences such as Esquivel and Martin Denny, but have taken an even more futuristic approach on Impossible World, with the help of producer/engineer John Holbrook and "Dubmaster General" Scanner, who have given Combustible Edison's sound even more of a Barbarella-esque sheen than their earlier efforts have shown. The drum sounds are much denser than their earlier discs, and that factor, juxtaposed with the multi-layered keyboards, give this record great appeal. It's indescribably delicious.
