even when the sun is dead, will you tell them how hard i tried

This is a short song about how perfectionism feels like putting in 150%.  As a perfectionist, if I scale back to 65%, it's still like everyone else's 100.

So, here's to 65%!

Natur, the Brazilian producer known for his evocative soundscapes, makes a compelling return with his latest release on the Mood Series. Titled Made In Brazil, this collection of six meticulously crafted tracks showcases a diverse range of dub techno styles, giving listeners an outstanding trip through ambient, melodic, and deeply evocative soundscapes.

The album opens with 'Dreams In Dub,' a track that sets a soothing tone with its airy chords and melodic undercurrents. The atmosphere is electric yet calming, reminiscent of brainwaves, creating a low BPM drift that feels like riding a gentle wave. The track's ambient fade-out leaves a lingering sense of relaxation and awe, making it a perfect introduction to the album's intricate sonic world. 'Echosphere' follows with a mid-tempo dub techno rhythm that's ideal for opening any DJ set. The track's ominous tones create an air of anticipation, with a laid-back tech groove that settles comfortably into the listener's consciousness. Its deep, rhythmic content lays low, drawing you in deep and ensuring a emotional experience. 'Brazil Dub' is subaquatic journey with its island bass hits and long, evolving chord echoes. The track conjures the feeling of being on a rickety ship, with sounds pinging like an ancient analog sonar. The deep melody and rolling basslines make this track a standout, offering a unique sounding example in the genre. 'Transient Echos' is a masterclass in blending classic dub techno sounds with ambient elements. The track's deep, rolling bassline and low BPM create a hypnotic effect. Despite its slow tempo, the track hits hard, proving that a banger doesn't need to be fast-paced. Its hypnotic quality and sick beats make it a memorable addition to the album. 'Dub Infusion' ramps up the energy with an upbeat tempo and swirling electric chords. The track's groove is punctuated by sharp stabs, creating a hi-tech, flighty dancefloor crusher. This track is all business, designed to get the crowd moving with its infectious rhythm and electrifying energy. The album closes with 'A Nameless Trail,' a heady and almost clinical ambient dub track. The haunting and intense chord work pushes the slow-moving beat forward, creating a deeply introspective and thought-provoking finale. The track's ambient dub elements make it a fitting conclusion to an album that explores the depths of dub techno with such finesse.

Overall, Made In Brazil shows Natur's excellent skill as a producer and his ability to navigate various styles within the dub techno genre. Each track offers a unique perspective, from soothing ambient melodies to deep, rolling basslines and high-energy grooves.
