Hotter than the Sun
The south coasts favourite analogue maestro completes his Bandolier hat trick with style and delivers four tracks oozing with his trademark sound of deep Discopian boogie from a future Metropolis of utopian splendour yet to be discovered!!
SECOND CHANCE – Blasting you off to another dimension is the peak time floor burner that builds around warm bass, subtle key changes and plucky guitar to a chorus of gloopy Arp action, low end acid hits, piano stabs and some classic Disco fills and thrills that generate an uplifting vibe to spark life into all specimens of being!!
BURNING SUN – This track can only be described as epic!! Impressive full sound in this incredibly produced piece of art!! Packed with harmony, drama and emotion this journey is the ultimate salute to many of Ian’s influences of the years. From Vangelis, Kraftwerk and Orbital to Terje, Lindstrom and Weatherall this track stinks of class and certainly is the soundtrack to all paths leading to the unknown!! Just listen!!
TWO OF EVERYTHING – Flashback to the illegal party scene of the 90’s. Imagine its 5am… you’re in a field, the suns on its way up and your bottom jaw is still wobbling! Cue the hands in the air moment of euphoria when you hear deep bass, old school piano hits and an acid line to lose yourself in….all accompanied by a finely sourced sample of a dude explaining the ways in which to out whit the powers that be in order to stay free!!
ROUNDED CORNERS – Rounding things off (see what i did there?) with another finely produced track full of crisp rhythms, wobbly pads, infectious bass and a tribal vocal stab that develops with perky fillers and low end bubble into a blissed out ride of analogue goodness which then breaks to a vocal that injects a positive message right into your soul. Leading to an Oriental like synth line that gives you an almost melancholic vibe to smooth off the hardest of jagged edges!!
