Disorientating electro-acoustics perhaps aptly describe the 'Songs That Spin In Circles', but meditational wanderings in sound would much better suit a description of Lullatone's new album. The pacific Japanese-American duo decided to deliver more of their acknowledged taste in minimal miniatures and lovely lullabies. 'Songs That Spin In Circles' rely on repetition and on those styles of a recognised calming nature, such as the lazy bossa nova on 'A Plastic Bag In The Wind'.

Lullatone's calm and quiet little trips to the grey zone of your brains will bring sweet dreams to the innocent of mind and comfort to the slightly poisoned ones. Toy instruments, glockenspiel and vapoury harmonic vocals work around and enrich that repetition with soft touches. Merrily just playing about on those instruments that only gentle fingers are allowed on to, Lullatone startle the mind with the same keynote that would lull one asleep. The meditative quality is merely one great asset.

The sounds of Lullatone on 'Songs That Spin In Circles' evoke the sight of pastel colours in one's imagination. John Peel once ridiculed himself, as he mentioned that back in his hippy days, he once said he would go into Hyde Park and write poems in the sky. Thanks to 'Songs That Spin In Circles' we can all have a go ourselves. And we would not make fools of ourselves. People might think we're a little odd and naive. But who'd care?
