Normally, the new longplayer by peter haubfleisch aka fresh moods would have fitted perfectly into the elektrolux anniversary year 2005. otherwise: the eleventh label year could not begin more promising… since fresh mood..s debut in 1996, his releases for elektrolux ("swerve" 2000, "love, death, angels" 2002) have influenced the aesthetics of the label considerably and, along the way, have shifted the horizon of modern chillout extensively towards freestyle, funk, offbeat, twostep house and elektro. this is continued consequently by his fourth album as well: "exhale" is a perfect symbiosis of a relaxed-romantical and often cineastic-athmospherical flood of images with concrete "headnodder" beats and thus demonstrates a clear down-to-earth feeling. a campfire blues guitar is floating over the beach ("solarcell") along with a slomo-hiphop-beat and a distortion downbeat shows its most enamoured facet ("for ever"). even deeply melancholic piano melodies do not have to do without a solid dopebeat ("so far"). featured by simone miranda..s vocals, fresh moods present their version of deep future jazz souls ("u gone") as well.
