From the immaculate to the grungy, the svelte to the spongy, Seminyak’s solipsistic Über-inhabitants were out in force to help celebrate the launch of Gus Till’s latest music release, the ambient work Electric Oceans.

The Beat reviewed the album a few issues back, so we were expecting something special from the live show. Alas, it was not to be, though through no fault of Gus’s. In the best tradition of Bali-karma, about five different pieces of musical equipment refused to work – from one of the CD mixers to the PA to Gus’ own laptop.

We were treated to about twenty minutes worth, but it was not the complete musical soundscape it might have been. Which is all the more reason for you to go out and buy the CD and drift away on its psychic gulf stream of aural imagery.
