Review Twoism / Boards Of Canada:Almost as elusive as the act themselves, Twoism has been exchanging hands for anything up to £800 since its original 100 copy vinyl release back in 1995. Available for the first time on CD, re-cut and re-mastered, this near-mythical collection of minimal ambient treasure is as listless, pastoral and evocative as its follow-up, 1998's Music Has The Right Children and this year's Geogaddi. Even more understated than its successors, Twoism drifts with indolent beats and droning keyboard hooks. Hidden away in their remote Hexagon Sun studio in the highlands of north Scotland, Marcus Eoin and Mike Sandison inhabit a reclusive windswept world that is too damn cold to produce chill-out music. What you have here are delicate, deceptively simple, emotive soundscapes that bore right to the heart of the listener and refuse to be ignored. Broken into eight tracks but seemingly one continuous gentle sonic glide, Twoism opens with the mesmerising melancholia of "Sixtyniner" changing course only for "Basefree" with its restless itchy break beat and urban menace. At turns soothing and haunting it stirs feelings of desolation while somehow creating an intensely intimate feel. Laying the foundations for a career that has seen the duo become renowned exponents of blissful organic electronica; Twoism is an essential (no longer missing) link in the acts evolution. -Christopher Barrett.

Review Cafe Mambo - the Real Sound of Ibiza / Various Artists:The success of Ibiza's Café Del Mar has spawned many imitators, not least its sometime next door neighbour-the exotic sounding and equally blissed-out Café Mambo. Although younger and less established, holiday revellers still head there for that ambient sunset experience, usually followed by an evening of quality house and funky good-time tunes. Likewise, on this CD-a condensed version of the Mambo experience-you get two distinct mixes: a pre-club selection of Summer 2000's must-have favourites plus a chill-out flip-side for those more languorous moments. Here you'll find soothing hammock-swayers of the highest quality from the likes of Groove Armada, Rae & Christian and newcomers Bent, whose track "Swollen" is nothing short of sublime. CD2 is equally slick, a deftly mixed cocktail of Latin spirit, New York soul and that inimitable Ibizan vibe. Francois K's silky string mix of Moloko's "Time Is Now" sets the pace in style while killer tracks from Roger Sanchez, Afro Medusa and Sueno Latino perfectly capture the café's edge. Until next year then. -Paul Tierney.
