Peaceful Mind & Crystal Drop - Universal Mind EP Peaceful Mind is a dedicated progressive lover, but isn’t imprisoned by a single genre, saying “What makes progressive work so well is that it doesn’t stick to one style, and can incorporate electro, minimal, whatever it likes.” Although has clearly reached a celebrity status, it¹s his generous personality, his love for his peers and of course his completely candid humour that has enabled him to maintain such a likeable high profile in the often-fickle world of club culture. The definition of Crystal Drop is a water absorbent polymer that is translucent, odourless, bio-degradable, 100% non-toxic, re-usable and environmentally friendly, his sounds are underlined by a field recording that grows noticeably, subtly shifting from fuzzy house to a collation of squeaking breaks, sirens, horns and voices..
Universal Mind EP begins with tremors of piano and zither, before progressive enters with a few elongated wordless groans. The duo development into chattering laughter and higher cooing opens a more relaxed passage, alternating with forceful vocals over robust synthesizer drone. It's the aural equivalent of tensing every muscle in your body and then letting them all go. "
Universal Oneness" false-starts on a sluggish motorik rhythm and a serrated bass drone, dissolving into a watery, bell-laden movement for the remainder. Finally, "
Lonesome" buffs up the synth drone to complement its pervasive chants, channeling the previous tracks' instrumentation for a guttural, cathartic final movement.
The record is composed with a sense of freedom and fluidity that feels out-of-time, otherworldly and almost ancient—an intense accomplishment for both parties.
