PRAISE INDEED - YES, WELL IT IS A GOOD RECORD. THIS │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ LABEL ADVERTISES ITSELF AS "MUSIC FOR HEADS AND FEET" - WHICH IS A PERFECT │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ DESCRIPTION OF THIS. │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ --smallfish.co.uk │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ A 4-tracker from Iridite, featuring two tracks from Rei Loci, and a further two │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ from Jason Brunton and Elijah, one each. Rei Loci's first track Deep Blue is a │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ full-bodied shiraz, this one, with rich rippling textures and delays, fat fifth │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ melodies and a warm bouncing 808 4/4 plus clap pattern. We go on a funky, slightly │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ aspirational melodic journey that would be the perfect accompaniment to a pensive │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ night drive through Essex in a long limo. Rei Loci's second track, Ars Nova, gives │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ in to Carl Craig tendencies and becomes rather two classic a classic Detroit feel │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ with whining little synths over pitchbend strings and a drum pattern that vears │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ into jazziness. Jason Brunton has been described as 'Mad Mike on Mogadon' - a good │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ description, if you can handle oxymorons. The track itself is warm and thuddy with │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ little jazz inflections that say 'sophistication and fashion sense' but not much │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ more. Elijah (aka Laurence Hughes) produces that final track, 'Ice to Go', and it's │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ the strongest. In a similar vein to 'Deep Blue', this is a take on the 'Good Life' │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ keyboard blueprint of Kevin Saunderson, albeit more melancholic, less charged with │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ joy. Fat delayed synth intervals bounce their way through a rich, warm, pacey deep │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ house feel. Along the way we meet and say goodbye to nervous squiggly portamentos, │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ a 909 ride and snare, little percussion clinks and clicks, and uncomplicated string │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ chords, all immaculately placed and groomed in the mix. Like all the tracks on the │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ release it sounds expensive, classy, but not surprising or challenging. However, it │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ does what it does very nicely │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ --overloadmedia.co.uk │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ │║░█ ░ ░ █░╚┤ ├╝░█ ░ █▓█░ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ █▓█ ┌███▓▒░░──────────────────────────────────[GROUP iNFO]─────────────────────────────────░░▒▓███┐ ▒██▓▒┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐▒▓██▒ ░└█▒╔┤ ├╗▒█┘░ ░ █░║│∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙│║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ No news. │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ │║░█ ░ ░ █░║│ │║░█ ░ ░ █░╚┤ ├╝░█ ░ █▓█░ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ █▓█ ┌███▓▒░░──────────────────────────────────[GREETiNGS]──────────────────────────────────░░▒▓███┐ ▒██▓▒┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐▒▓██▒ └█▒╔┤ ├╗▒█┘ █░║│∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙│║░█ ░█░║│ Greetings to all our friends in groups such as... │║░█░ █░║│ │║░█ ░█░║│ TCLUB - gEm - XSE - SnS - TR - kW - mCZ - LSi - iPZ - m00tv │║░█░ █░║│ │║░█ ░█░║│ And to anyone we forgot! │║░█░ ▒░█░║│ │║░█░▒ ░█░║│ i would like to greet the oldtimers of the scene! :) │║░█░ ▒░█░║│ │║░█░▒ ▓▒█▒╚┤ ├╝▒█▒▓ █▓█▓▄└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘▄▓█▓█ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ASCii Painting by AyLieN of CHEMiCAL REACTiON 2oo2 ∙ ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ ∙
