Electronic makes for good music to raise you from a studying rut. I'm not sure if Matthew Dear's "Soil to Seed" is true electronic, but it is good. Great, really. It's not a fast tempo piece that thrusts you to the dance floor, but gets your shoulders moving. The lyrics are sung, or spoken rather, with a hint of depression or sadness, which suits the fluid background beats pulsing in the foreground. This isn't the electronic music you thought you knew.
If you could put "Soil to Seed" in a setting, it would be an underwater highway. Yes, you read that right. You can hear something in this song that takes you into the depths of the sea, while this same something places you in the driver's seat of a car. This must be what mermaids play on their radios when driving from castle to castle. Just as soon as this two-and-a-half minute masterpiece has begun, it is over, yearning for you to reopen your music player, and hit rewind.
