Sea of Mud (Mutameri reggae) - 100 BPM Playing The Presets is the long lost debut album of Finnish Goa-Psydub band Praktika. It was recorded at the legendary Ääniasema studios (also known as the home of Gad, M1D1L11TT0, O*men, Squaremeat) between 1997-1999. Praktika was formed during Flipping Bixies Sörkkä Sonic sessions where band had released first track Out Of Phase in 1996. Debut album was due to be released in autumn 1999 on Exogenic Records, but all master tapes were lost only to be re-found in summer 2016 from storage of Johtoääni Studios. Nobody really knew what have happened and some blame aliens. All music is from pre-VSTi era when instruments were still made of red and silver plastic. Musically it goes from Goa trance to psy dub to psychedelic world music and Finnish forest funk.
