Attack 9 records reissued the album 'Kids Fill the Floor' by Freescha and put it for free d/l for limited time.

This is an attempt at writing a review ; a tribute , a sign of respect and a token of thanks to Freescha for making this album. Freescha : Kids Fill the Floor

The greatest minds weren’t always those which had complex and sophisticated ideas but those who conveyed those ideas to the world in simplest of words making them accessible to one and all.Likewise, there are pieces of art that are great not in themselves but also because of the virtue of their innate quality of being accessible to a layman, interested in art, and to a trained connoisseur alike.When it comes to music it would be generally the audiophiles who would be quick to identify patterns, generic imitations of styles and most importantly spot something which is distinct from the run of the mill production out there.

Freescha’s  ‘Kids Fill the Floor’ is one such album that can delight both audiophiles and ordinary mortals alike. To identify and categorize it through the prism of genre would be a big mistake. This is not just any ordinary album; this is a transcendental piece of art. For me , 'art' means a piece of work which elevates the spirit, creates a world of its own, a source of refuge for those looking for it and a means to inspire while at the same time leaves one with a feeling of being fulfilled. And this album just provides all of this. If, at all, the genre must be mentioned, it should only be for formally attributing the ‘’type’’ of music it is . But once you listen to ‘Kite High’ and ‘Kid Brother’ among other meditative sublime tracks, you would realize immediately that great music cannot be defined by or confined merely into genres. There is something common in such creations, their quality of transporting the listener into another world. Much like the way one feels transported in another century standing inside a 14th century cathedral.

Before the word, comes thought and words would be nothing if they cannot signify any meaning through the images, sounds, fragrances, emotions etc. associated with them. The tunes on this disc are accompanied by equally mesmerizing whispers, humming voices which compliment the music.

‘Kids Fill the floor’ tells a story of its own with barely using any words and they are not required either as the sacredness of the emotion, imagery of landscapes,architecture (subject to your imagination ) is kept intact in thoughts conjured up when the music plays. I am convinced that words do not always express or successfully capture the essence of reality or everything there is in life that we experience.  They lose something the moment they define an emotion, a sound. The essence is not lost here on this album. What is meant to be conveyed is perhaps successfully conveyed. The song titles too seem t be carefully crafted for each song. I would not like to spoil your interpretation of the music from here on. Just listen to it yourself.
