Ocean Lion by Coppice Halifax

REISSUED! In celebration of the long-delayed and much-awaited OCEAN LION III, both OCEAN LION and OCEAN LION II are being given reissues in matching packaging, with updated album cover photography to make the whole set glow on your record shelf. Possibly THE tropical CH album, for many listeners out there - a landmark in the ever-expanding Halifaxian universe! Remember, it's not a lake - it's an ocean!

"Ocean Lion is the first of four planned albums to bear the title, wherein deep seascapes of dripping tropical atmosphere and droning ambient bliss coalesce with mid-fi drum work that could be a distant buoy, and dub-influenced basslines that wouldn't be out of place on a Casino Versus Japan record. This is music designed from the ground up to be endless, continually shifting in subtle variants while keeping things anchored to a minimal recording approach. Elegant, yet restrained, Ocean Lion builds psychedelic castles out of Henry Mancini tape loops (among other orchestral sound sources) and presents the listener with a sensual experience that brings the beach and the low tide right into your living room."
