Side Liner - Trilogy Vol 2

Review by Fipi Susanti

Trilogy Vol. 2 by Side Liner: A Downtempo Odyssey That’s Kinda Hard to Forget Alright, let’s get one thing straight—electronic music isn’t always about dropping beats so hard they rattle your fillings. Sometimes it’s about chilling harder than a polar bear on an ice floe. Enter Trilogy Vol. 2, the 2020 downtempo gem from Greek producer Side Liner, released via Cosmicleaf Records. This album feels like that cozy moment when you’re sipping coffee and staring out at the rain but somehow still vibing. The whole shebang kicks off with “Forgot To Say I Love You,” and honestly? It hits different. The track rolls in slow, like someone tiptoeing through fog, with soft synths that wrap around you like a warm blanket—or maybe regret? There’s this bittersweet undertone that makes you think about all those awkward silences in life where words don’t quite cut it. You know, the kind of song that could soundtrack both a breakup montage and a really chill Sunday morning. It sticks because it doesn’t try too hard; it just exists, doing its thing while you quietly lose yourself in it. Then there’s “Contemporary Landscape (Dense Remix),” which is basically what happens if you took a scenic painting, added some glitchy textures, and let it simmer. Dense’s remix takes Side Liner’s original vibes and gives them a bit of edge—a digital patina, if you will. What I love here is how it balances calmness with tiny bursts of chaos. It’s like walking through a serene forest only to stumble upon a rave full of woodland creatures. Weird? Yes. Memorable? Absolutely. Now, let’s talk aesthetics for a sec. Hats off to Sundrugs for the photography and Cosmicleaf for mastering everything to perfection—and designing that cover art that screams “I’m mysterious but also kinda artsy.” Greece might not be the first place you associate with downtempo electronica, but hey, maybe we’ve been sleeping on Hellenic talent all along? So yeah, Trilogy Vol. 2 is good. Really good. But here’s the kicker—it’s not trying to reinvent the wheel or anything. Instead, it reminds us that sometimes music can just be. No fireworks, no gimmicks, just solid craftsmanship served up with a side of introspection. And honestly, isn’t that refreshing in a world obsessed with flashy TikTok trends? Final thought: Listening to this album feels like finding an old mixtape in your car’s glove compartment years later. It’s nostalgic yet new, comforting yet slightly strange. Like cheese fries after a breakup—if cheese fries were classy enough to wear a turtleneck.
