This is a busy album. Kraut-rock is an obvious influence on "Slave" with its swirling, ever-moving, synth melodies and cavernous reverb. The prevalence of this dreamy atmosphere makes for few standout tracks but an overall decent listening experience. Splashing, operatic, lyrics give the music a bright psychedelic color but don't expect to understand what front-man Adam Granduciel is saying.
Again, it's not very useful to point out key tracks on "Slave" because it's just so heavily album oriented but that also means that, in a sense, all the songs are equally good. If you're in need of a pleasant musical distraction, turn this one up. Listen closely and you'll lose yourself in ebbing and flowing of the warm tides of "Slave". It's a refreshing dip.
Grade: B-
