New release on Meanwhile records from Remote.

"Celestion (edit)" starts it off with a very wavey , fluffy wedbe of audio that wobbles and flips towards you like a jellyfish caught in the grip of a helicopters downforce. A very subtle drumbeat joins in, and adds a fresh element to the mix with a pinch of intrigue that heightens the beachfront feeling off this one. It's all about the digitised water lapping over your hot feet, as the persussive force of the track sends out a pulse of energy all the way to the horizon and back, in a successful attempt to spread the magic. Shell popping stuff.

"A-tonal" is another lesson in atmosphere creating electronics from Remote. Soothing and reverbing washes of audio skip about like a fish out of water, and send skywards arched sections of undamaged code into the blue hazy distance on a mission to capture any travelling knowledge in is path. Smooth stuff. " Permafrost" takes a slightly different route, and drops a power rich hum to test your defences, and doesnt let up. This one rumbles, turns and investigates everything it comes across, with a presence, that has you checking over your shoulder to make sure you arent being tracked. Very rich.


This release from Remote was very interesting to listen to, and has a lot of depth and scope to it. Its one for the sunny days on a rich green hillside, whilst you share a glass of energon with Optimus Prime. Simple, clever and full of life, not my normal cup of tea, music wise but refreshing anyhow.

Take a listen.
