These very cool instrumental pieces are ultimate groove and floatation, sophisticated chill out.
In Levitate Vicki skilfully mixes sampled keys, oboes, flutes, saxophones, guitars, harps, marimbas and strings with the most angelic 21st century pads, spacy electronic embellishments and rhythms.
Modern orchestra meets space age moon band.
In most of Vicki's works you can hear a little bit of classical, a little bit of jazz, a pinch of latin spice, all rolled up in an warm ambient pashmina.
It's rich, satisfying, music with undulating rhythms, even where there are no drums. Ride the melodies, have visions, let go, bliss out.
