ALBUM OF THE DAY: Isabel's Dream - Monomara (2000)



"Monomara" is the only release from Isabel's Dream, the "blissbeat" project of Toronto-based musician Michael Ulrich.  Originally conceived as a solo ambient project, Ulrich eventually incorporated Drum n Bass elements to his ambient soundscapes, resulting in a remarkable blend of shoegaze and electronic music (hence the "blissbeat" tag).  Ulrich completed the transition to a more structured sound by adding the voice of Rachel Keeler to the mix.  This is a must-listen for fans of the lush IDM of Seefeel and the dreamy droning of loveliescrushing.
