Strange-eyed Constellations 2 follows on from its 2015 predecessor, focusing on downtempo grooves, atmospheric soundscapes and ambient moods, mixing field recordings, classical instruments and electronics. Some tracks were produced by current Disco Gecko artists, others by associates and acquaintances of label boss Toby Marks, and a few came as a result of asking a wider audience to send in their tracks for consideration, which has lead to the discovery of some great new talents. These twelve gentle lullabies for hearts and souls are, as before, complemented by Zoe Heath’s paintings. ‘Strange-eyed Constellations 2’ is no ordinary compilation – this is music with heart, integrity and depth, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes contemplative, but all with beauty at its core.
