Back on the planet

""Jus There" samples both Ice Cube and Robin Harris in its opening breaths. The Eastern loops of "Been Cosmic" fleetingly bleed into the red like Muslimgauze toppling Mr. Oizo. Following a DJ's shout, "G Spot Connection" dips delightfully into degraded aquatic tones. Spurts and spasms of luxurious sound and compelling reference, however, do not make for a great album and, mostly, the record plods. Undermining its slinky title, "CosMc Lounge Kisses" instead conjures fire alarm drones, analog squiggles, and tape gurgles".

"Back on the Planet spends its first few tracks focused on setting moods and generally avoiding the concerns of melody and steady rhythm. There are soothing arrangements of gently pulsing drums, echo-blurred keys, and the occasional sub-bass boom (...) The songs don't really go anywhere, but they don't need to-- it's the psychic tone that matters, not any sort of hooks, and the blissful state they produce comes from simply enjoying them in the moment".
