Washington DC-based producer and co-founder of smooth-edged trip hoppers Thievery Corporation, Eric Hilton turns inward on this solo set, recorded away from the collaborative sprawl that defined much of his earlier work. Hilton works alone here, building a slow-moving world that drifts on bassline logic and sensual atmosphere. 'Akasha' opens in a half-lit haze, bass and percussion easing into motion as if the room is still waking up. 'The Dharma Lovers' and 'Breathe Me In' lean into intimacy, voices appearing like thoughts. Deeper cuts such as 'Kali' and 'Ghatam' settle into heavy, unhurried grooves, while 'Lalita' floats on sitar and chant. It's a record designed to suspend time, letting rhythm and touch carry the narrative.[info sheet from distr.]
