"Post-modern jazz meets atmospheric chillout on this seductive new release from LR-60 & Mr. Moods. Let's reveal who's behind this intriguing and rather cryptic recording handle... LR-60 is professional trumpeter Skip Warren who discovered electronic artist Christian Denis (aka Mr. Moods) on-line. Upon realizing that he two shared similar musical ambitions and notions, they began collaborating... blending LR-60's organica with Mr. Moods electronica. Think Miles Davis meets Massive Attack. LR-60 has racked up years of credits with some amazing blues & jazz icons including Bobby "Blue" Bland, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt, Wilson Pickett and many more. COLDEST MEMORIES is truly a piece of audio art... entrancing from start to finish featuring a mesmerizing downtempo industrial vibe that includes trip-hop, acid jazz and world textures. The spaciousness of COLDEST MEMORIES is what gives the project its uniqueness... there's tremendous breathability in this recording offering a relaxing, yet deep musical journey that lasts well over an hour! Highly recommend!"
