Not Not Fun US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Not Not Fun, based in California, deliver their latest V/A compilation, Alley Of The Sun, a direct-to-dome soma-expander spanning the intersections and vivisections of ambient, kosmische, Americana, you name it... in their words, in fact, the inexhaustible list endowed to the label's "Pacific palette" includes "rainforest ceremony, skyway motorik, Tascam rapture, silhouette shoegaze, basement vapor, astral ascension, jazz shadows, 5th world tropics, lucid dream drone, desert quests, prophecy electronics, ritual wreckage." The compilation reflects NNF's now two-decade exploration and evolution in sound, and centres on an all-round dewey, cosmopolitan sound, of no fixed residence or polarity, and replete with gongs, sloshes, drippings, singing bowl hits, Loon bird calls and auratic hums.
