Title: Sunkings  - Soul Sleeping
Review: The Sunkings dropped SOUL SLEEPING as trance was steadily becoming the genre du jour of techno. Blue Room, in particular, was a label well-known for trance, and the traces of this are immediately evident in the drone and beats of "Tongues of Fungus," but with the sonically dense, atmospheric "Flesh Canvas," there's nary a cheesy trance riff to be found. This wears off quickly, however, as "Isle of the Departed" wanders a bit too much with its prog-rock guitar and sub-Lisa Gerrard vocal ("Eden Reprised" loses the guitar, but retains the vocals, unfortunately). "Tang" delivers prototypical psy-trance, and the other tracks seem to meld together in a indistinguishable drone. The breaks on "Talisman" break things up, but it's a little too late. Might be better to sleep on this one.
