Balearic/Downtempo
Despite his years of dedication to the Balearic scene - not to mention a string of fine albums under the Cantoma alias - Phil Mison doesn't get nearly enough recognition for his achievements. Perhaps his latest album, the undeniably gorgeous See The Sun, will finally provide him with a wider breakthrough. Whether it does or not, it's a genuinely wonderful album that sees Mison wrap his usual uber-Balearic instrumentation - samba-soaked acoustic guitar chords, Flamenco style classic guitar solos, kaleidoscopic synth sounds, sweet male and female vocals, lilting French horn motifs and so on - around grooves that range from slow motion shufflers, and Latin tinged headiness, to organic house rhythms and luscious nu-disco beats. All of Mison's Cantoma albums are excellent but See The Sun really could be his best to date.
