Nagual Sound Experiment
Invisible movements CD
Release Date: 21st September 2007
Liquid Records once again shows its brilliance and diversity with a new dubstep/glitch/hip-hop project by Cameron Leonard-Schroff, also know as Mood Deluxe. This debut NSE release shows once again the shattering of genre boundaries and leaves you with a refreshing look at the 'new breed' of producers.
Nagual Sound Experiment, the downtempo project of pioneering psy-breaks artist Mood Deluxe, truly tests new musical waters with this exploratory and amorphous collection of tracks. "Invisible Movements" is released on one of the UK's finest new record labels, Liquid Records. NSE, or Cameron Leonard-Schroff, makes music his life, and this album encapsulates his energy perfectly... a whopping eighty minutes and fourteen audio compositions mean not a nano-second of space is wasted, every note a mote of meticulous effort, talent and planning. On top of NSE's knack for siphoning styles from every culture and time period of music conceivable, Cameron has the technical knowledge to back up his imagination... his considerable professional studio and teaching experience come into play to ensure nothing but top-notch sound enjoyment on this colossal album. Cameron AKA Nagual Sound Experiment AKA Mood Deluxe is making quite a world name for himself as an artist, and his latest album "Invisible Movements" only solidifies that reputation as a boundless entertainer and artist like none other before him.

Track by Track
Systema (Coopers Theme)
Gloomy piano and a swing-beat duo of kicks and hi-hats are the stitchwork for a creatively sinister amalgam of glitch, urban hip-hop and reggae. Featuring sultry vocal stylings of Lisa Wadham, NSE's "Systema" is a relaxing, emotive storyline in itself and sets a great example of what lies ahead.
Bad Breed
Nagual Sound Experiment has quite a talent for taking seemingly unrelated bits of world culture and fusing it into something which sounds impressively groovy. Listen to "Bad Breed" and you will understand right away! The basslines are phat, retro and well-planned and are a great synth additive to busy soundscapes which may make you rewind a few times.
Frontier
A heart-throbber of a track, "Frontier Dub" is an inevitable advancing wall of resonant bass and string vibrations more felt than heard.... and somewhere in the thick of it all, Indian flutes and distorted voice transmissions. This piece literally fills up your room and your head. NSE gives you a track meant to be heard loudly... this tune carries a huge presence.
Zorastafari
Intriguingly named, this track opens with a minimal two-step bassbeat amid animal swallowing sounds. A bit of reggae thrown in, with some glassy synth twangs, herald filtered vocal rhymes. NSE manipulates sound at the atomic level in "Zorastafari", making your reality feel held together by giant cosmic zippers.
Introducing
If music is your ideal life-support system, "Introducing" is right for you! With bass warm and low, friendly guitar licks and vocals, your vibe is kept alive. Very slow and electro-tribal, "Introducing" brings ancient and modern music together into a great fusion trip-hop piece. Both the light and dark elements have their movements here.
Do I Move You?
This chilled-out lowrider of a track inspires subliminal head nodding. NSE allows enough space for plenty of synth and sample content, thoroughly tweaked out to his especially high standard. Dancehall reverbed percussion and meaty bass deliver the club to your bedroom... recommended for strong stereo systems.
Anti Spiral (NSE vs EMS)
Urban, abstract and ultra-techy, “Anti Spiral" brings a jazzy horn section, expansive bass curtains and a serious hard-step glitch beat together, putting cultural notions into a new light. Punchy, mean and heavily tweaked, this collab with Liquid Records Djems shows both their musical skills in a great fusion.
Babylon
Tenebrous bass and ultra-metallic percussion makes for an abstruse stomper of a track... yet another piece by NSE that refuses to be molded by genre descriptions. This track busts borders between hemispheres and times and brings it to you according to a fast and furious bedrock of bass and slamming beats.
Forward (NSE vs Ital Roots Players)
"Forward" is a touch more benevolent than the previous few tracks... positive messages conveyed through arrangements of beat distortions and synth expectorations! Guitars and vocals flavour this piece with wonderful human element while NSE adds the fuel of a veritable feast of musical food for the super-conscious.
The Special Button
This track is a gaseous, dubby musical taxicab to the astral plane! Tasty guitar licks by Jeremy Levitzky and melodies provided by MoiRama lead to you into a deception of tranquillity before the crisp, dance-ready drums and bass are thrown at you. Extra-dimensional wildlife undergoes alien rituals in the background... a truly one-of-a-kind track.
Supanova - by Manasseh meets Brotha Culture (NSE remix)
This track is a jovial psychedelic journey through rootsy electro-dub. Fresh vocals by Brotha Culture add flavour and story to this piece, and all-organic bass and percussion keep a steady, danceable rhythm. Funky guitar licks duet against pitched out synths and background horns, all masterfully produced and arranged by NSE.
Three Gold Stripes
Perhaps one of the most experimental and haunting on this already genre-defying album, this groove is slow and industrial with heavily breathing bass. The noises are myriad and multitudinal, and all perfectly timed and placed to coincide with vertical head motions! This piece chills you out and leaves hair standing on your neck all at once.
The White Lodge (Interlude)
Black Lodge Dub
"Black Lodge Dub" has some serious breakbeat rhythm, sultry vocals and ragga guitar, while the ever evolving bassline takes on a life of its own! Fans of the band "Korn" with a discerning ear will be pleased to hear this one, at times meant for the cocktail club and at others, the mosh pit. A serious example of brilliant genre fusion at work.
Hexorcism
NSE ends off this stunning 80-minute album with some trance-and-bass from the Far East... thick trance waves and angelic signing hearken back to San Francisco warehouse parties, while Indian instruments add the atonality and dissonance to make "Hexorcism" a track that never gets boring. A great track used to end this ingenious album on a happy, heady note.
