After a pronounced hiatus, Windy & Carl decide to break their silence with a mini-album tribute to their ?dearly departed dog?. Like everything this duo records the two tracks on offer here are a study in meditative stillness, ethereal embraces frozen in time. Only archival recordings of the recently deceased, which make cameos throughout, provide the slightest hint of agitation and form the emotional bedrock of this release. To hear the old fella heavily panting, barking and slurping from a water bowl would, you would think, intrude upon the delicately layered filigrees of guitar, but they do no such thing. Conversely, Flea?s performance raises ?Dedications? above being merely another faceless, albeit gorgeous, slice of ambient drone. He?s rightly the star of the show. 8/10 -- Spencer Grady (15 August, 2005)
