The song “Seashore Cafe” is one of the nicest I have listened to and can transport one to the shore to while away the time by the sea and the feeling is provocative. This track is made by lounge side of “Enrico Milano aka Mr. Dub” in ambient jazz and chillout, giving the listener an impression of a calm cafe by the sea. Yes, the first track has the same name of the artist.
Right from the first bars, one can imagine comfort and gentle rocking with the Seashore Cafe track. The acoustic guitar sound introduces the first song, making one feel like they are on the beach hearing the sound of the sea. The guitar playing is quite complex, but it is not dominant in any way; instead, it appears to be the base on which the other instruments are built. This kind of instrumental choice is appropriate for constructing the sense of place.
The harmony of soft piano and gentle beats makes the track rich for the duration of the track. Most of the melodies in the piano are simple, although they are sufficient to paint an impersonal picture of a day at the seaside. The percussion is not very loud and does not drown the music; instead, the percussion supports the other part of the song. Such balance between the lines of melody and rhythm is one of the significant advantages of “Seashore Cafe”. It allows listening to the composition without any pressure and problems and getting into dancing without excessive pressure on the fast rhythm.
Notable in this respect is that there is the sound of seagulls in “Seashore Cafe”. This is because, in the background, one can hear the seagulls singing, the sound of the waves and the muffled voices of people in the background. These are incorporated into the music, and the listeners feel as if they are on the shores of the sea, taking a cup of coffee in a cafe and taking a moment to cool off.
The sections of the track are not sharply divided: The sections are linked together in the most logical way possible. The song does not switch beats; it remains slow until the end of “Seashore Cafe”. This consistency is crucial for the track’s success because it powerfully underlines the general sentiment of relaxation and sleep on the track. The build-up of the instrumental parts and the melodic and harmonic material transformations do not eradicate the mood but instead capture the audience.
On the psychological level, “Seashore Cafe” is rather plain and even suburban music – it can be termed a childhood recall tune. It creates in the listener a feeling of security and that everything is all right or, as some would call it – “the warm and fuzzy feeling” and, therefore, is most suitable when thinking or lying down. The song is sung slowly and can be listened to in the evening or after work to create a pleasant mood.
Regarding the production, it is possible to say that even though “Seashore Cafe” sometimes looks amateurish, the song does not seem to be dragged in the middle. The sounds the track brings are clear, and none overpower the other; they are harmonised. It also helps the listener to pay attention to every part of the song and even the other elements, such as guitar playing and sound effects.
“Seashore Cafe” can be evaluated as a perfectly composed song that will let people listen and feel the sea coast. This track from lounge side of “Enrico Milano aka Mr. Dub” can create a pleasant atmosphere, which is why it is chillout music. To take a nap, ponder some life issues, or even run away from the busyness of life, one would find “Seashore Cafe” as one place to make such an individual feel refreshed.
