Tickle My Dolphin is essentially a single, featuring five different mixes of the title song along with two other tracks, "Fiending" and "Ode to Ian" (Ian, judging from the cover art, being the dolphin in question.) The record's primary sound is a dreamy, watery sort of electronica -- its clear synth tones and mellow atmospheres make it appropriate for bedroom listening, but its excursions into beat-happy constructions give it a definite club orientation as well. The title track itself is a gorgeous wash of oceanic and vaguely Japanese dreaminess reminiscent of some of Flowchart's work (Tenjira) -- its remixes are more club-oriented, ranging from the dubby to the stripped-down and beat-heavy.
Flowtron also deserves some credit for unobtrusively working actual dolphin sounds into the track. ~ Nitsuh Abebe
