With The Green Kingdom LP, compositions blur the lines between soundscape and structure while keeping a sharp focus on melody with the guitar playing a central role, the album manipulated acoustic and electronic sources, sampled textures, noise and field recordings. Imbued with a sense of "optimistic nostalgia", Mike Cottone soundworlds encourage introspective explorations and provide an escape from our sometimes hectic lives. The Green Kingdom LP is the natural continuity of the highly acclaimed EP "Lucky Bamboo" released for free on ekonetlabel (iod) in June 2006. http://semlabel.com/
