Music For Sleep - Mellotron Works (Album)

Music For Sleep - Mellotron Works (Album)

Not as accomplished as John Medeski’s recent mellotron nerd-jazz exploration nor as expansive as Mike Dean’s “everything with a keyboard in my studio full of weeeeeeeed” magnum opus, but MFS has a different more peaceful aim and he hits the mark. A love letter to an instrument via music for meditation and slow drift- very easily could have become cheezeball, but through delicate textures and a light touch it achieves an appealingly narcotic atmosphere.
