Exquisitely compiled by Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F. Cardoso from three tapes by the tireless mind-body of Spencer Clark through his own Pacific City Sound Visions, This Year In Coconuts Vol. 2 is another revelation into the deeply personal soundworld of this true voyager of both ancient, present and forthcoming times. Coming from a truly singular artist, capable of conveying multiple visions into a labyrinthine-esque mythology all of his own, these seven tracks feel as much part of their original setting as connected pieces from this never ending and puzzling netherworld. Dedicated to the Temple of Isis in Pompei and opening sides A and B, the two tracks from Tempio d'Iside set up a scenario not far from a dream version of the Temple itself, made from crystal clear synth-lines and levitating ambiences, like drifting into ancient memories from days to come. Making up about half of the compilation, the four tracks from Kowloon Spider Temple drip into a feverish mosaic of Clark's by now trademarked cascading rhythms, un-hinged alien-vocal samples, phantasmic textures and sparkling synth harmonies projecting a catchy hypnotic oblivion filled with intrigue. The sole title track from From the Caves and Jungles of Apulia tangentially reports back to some lower-fi recordings of the past, with its murkier sound inducing the feeling of willing confinement within such caves and jungles.
