Ambassador's Reception presents another journey into the unknown psychedelic depths of the Balkan region with this self titled collection of tracks from Romanian band Steau De Mare. Named in homage to a sixties seaside resort complex on the Black Sea, Steau De Mare came to prominence with a sizeable contribution to Sounds of the Unheard, a compilation released last year jointly by Ambassador's Reception and Romanian label Future Nuggets. With that compilation lauded by many, not least Andrew Weatherall, Ambassador's Reception now present this eight track exploration of Steau De Mare's smoky, psychedelic sound which blends the sounds of 60s Romania such as Prog, dub, psychedelic rock and more contemporary Balkan sounds like Manele - all of which has been executed with the benefit of modern recordings techniques and technology. Superb from start to end!
