Psychedelic soul is the name of the game on 'The Invisible Movie Soundtrack'. This is a collection that draws on the roster on the Penny Nation label and it's a fine diverse sample which makes a mockery of accusations that today's soul music is dull and self-satisfied. 'Darwin' and 'Damn Allright' add trip-hop beats to star performer Lydia's vocals. 'EZ Girl' exudes a lovely, langurous charm and 'Disappear' boasts an uplifting singalong chorus to contrast with the earlier moodiness. In between the actual songs are psychedelic wig-outs which detract from the overall quality of the album; not adding the atmosphere required but merely interrupting the flow. At least as the album develops the instrumental pieces do improve with 'Gan' a nice bliss-out moment and the vocal-less versions of songs featured earlier in the album actually stand up in their own right. With a touch of Samba thrown in for good measure this is a pleasingly diverse selection of music which disorientates and relaxes in equal measure.
