We kick things off with "The Chasing" a spaced out, dreamy track that kicks things off in dynamic fashion here with tight, unifying vocals and otherworldly musical instrumentation providing the perfect balance between different musical genres and provides an opportunity for listeners of both genres to come together and witness all the musical magic unfold. My favorite track off the release is "Just Because", an instantly enjoyable musical concoction complete with dreamy synth laden textures and dual vocal abilities providing an infectious and magical track that you'll instantly fall head over heels for. "Well Absolutely" is a track that incorporates throwback melodies and makes it sound modern to today's musical standards that gives it an eclectic and magical feel to it that makes your heart grow fonder for the depth of sheer musicality found on this diverse effort heard here so far.
The second half begins with "What's The Point", an undeniable, synth happy jam that evokes the carefree and wistful spirit that the collective were aiming for when they were conjuring up these compositions while in the studio, and that clearcut musical dynamic shows the fruits of its labor in living color right here. "Lovelife" is an eerie, retro sounding track that features a liquid like component that seeps its way into the cracks surrounding the musical wall, filling it with dexterity and providing the musical stability and evokes the musical affection that best represents the qualities that it emanates so strongly. We begin to conclude our time here with "Rocketship", a futuristic sounding voyage that takes us on a sonic tour complete with space age synthesizers and finely tuned vocals providing the perfect musical escape and allows us to conclude our journey here at ease. "Charm" is the final song on the album, and its a real doozy of a track with magical vocal streams being spewed back and forth and allowing the album to connect with the other tracks we've heard in succession, and gives us a chance to look back and reflect on the album as a whole and what musical wavelengths we've encountered in our journey to the finish line. I was enthralled with Body Language the first time I checked out their music several months ago, and I was equally impressed with their ability to inject an immense amount of rhythm to create dance oriented, synth heavy tracks that had my head bopping the minute I first heard it, and didn't let up until long after their music concluded. There's something about the guys that puts me in a positive and celebratory frame of mind, and really makes me appreciate the talent and enthusiasm that they bring both in studio and on stage as well.
Looking back, a terrific and well executed album heard here from Body Language, who are bringing the rhythm and unbridled enthusiasm to the masses with a full featured effort that shows off the collective musical wisdom that they've amassed over the last few years, and are bringing it on a much larger scale this time around.
