Far removed from the usual, generic electronic chill experience, Imaginary Friends is a soulful offering from Ultimae Records. This one’s for the gazers and daydreamers who find themselves drifting off to far away, imaginary places from time to time.  With a deeply poetic and strongly melancholic theme running right through to the end, the album takes the listener on an intense dreamlike journey through myriad soundscapes. Going the experimental way, Imaginary Friends offers some traditional, atmospheric, down tempo electronica mingled with a medley of live instrumentation and some percussive elements. The first five tracks set the mood for the album in motion. You will find compositions from industry heavyweights like James Murray, Aes Dana, Solar Fields and Asura. Moving enough to lull the mind into a calm, meditative stupor, this album is perfect for a rainy day and a must buy for the avid chill collector. - Akshita Phoolka
