DESCRIPTION
==================
'Not Real' starts with some sampled speech followed by lovely melody backed by brilliant bouncing sequences. The leads are so infectious they will stay in your head and your feet simply will not be able to remain still. Every element is spot on. A brilliant composition. 'Arped Obsession' initially slows things down with some wonderful moody atmospherics before a lovely lead cries out over soaring pads. There's something of an anthemic feel to it all. A bass sequence rumbles forth then gradually more sequencer lines come to join it before a heavy rhythm kicks in. The lead hangs delicately above the heaving backing as things become more euphoric by the second. If you are reading this review on our web page please listen to the sound sample now. I think it's absolutely awesome! If you are reading the review from the paper catalogue- well words can't do justice to how good this is. Clanging bells get 'String Theory' underway. A vocoded introduction gives way to rumbling bass line, providing a foundation for lovely little looped melodies then beautiful piano lead line. There's a real feel of Andy Pickford's solo work about this. Subtlety, melody and intense excitement are all melded together in one perfect whole. Another slab of pure brilliance. Slow crashing stabs provide a rather ominous start to 'Silence de la Nuit'. Fairly heavy rhythms kick in juxtapositioned wonderfully by sighing wordless female vocal colouring. Despite the track title this is really driving stuff that would get you motoring far too fast if you were in the car. 'Progression' immediately gets into a foot tapping and head-nodding groove. Another ideal one for the autobahn. 'Mellowman' brings back the sequences but then quickly develops into a gentle dance number. 'Said Goodbye' and 'Last Contact (4 am)' really change the mood as on both soft floating pads create a tranquil relaxed atmosphere, a delicate piano lead taking centre stage. There is a gentle rhythm but really these are ones to just lie back and chill out to, though the latter of the two does have a bit more bight than the former. 'End Splice Anthem' cranks up the pace again as in ye face rhythms let rip. It's the sort of track you could really let yourself go ape to. There are also some lovely little lead lines which are ideal for air keyboard playing while you jump up and down like a crazy thing- I know I did (which doesn't half make it difficult to type!). Another absolute belter. A lovely two note bass sequence hops along at the beginning of 'Em da Phunk'. Excellent virtual guitar skips through the pulsations as the drums whip up a storm, slow leads floating over the top. It's a real feel good track that will make you want to punch the air with pure joy. Yet another stunner. 'Cold Sun' is a gentle chugger that should get the head pleasantly nodding to the beats. There's also a lovely little solo echoing piano interlude in the middle. 'Gapless Time' uses multi layered sequences to create a bubbling base over which first an acoustic guitar lead then more conventional melodic synth loops take turns grabbing the attention. At times I was reminded of Otarion. '3 months and 3 weeks' finishes the album off in blistering form and again reminded me a little of Andy Pickford. It's a track with many a section. Some will get the whole body moving, others will get you closing your eyes, taking in the wonderful melodies whilst others will leave you gently tapping out time on the table- there is also a little humour in there. In other words it sums up the whole album. If you like intelligent upbeat music then you really need this in your collection. Simply a fantastic album. (DL) David Law
