Artist: David Holmes ft. Raven Violet
Label: Heavenly Recordings
Cat Number:
Genre: Who Cares?

This release is a precursor to David Holmes’ “first solo album since 2008’s ‘The Holy Pictures’ and is made up of two identical, save for the speed, Lovefingers Dub & Response mixes, as well as a Decius remix and one by Phil Kieran. I’m not quite sure what to make of them really. I think the whole package needs to put the brakes on, with probably the chunky Decius remix being the only one I would play out. Both Lovefingers remixes are functional and you takes your choice innit. Horses for courses and all that. Why not a 120 bpm offering? I suppose that’s what the pitch control is for, so 130 bpm could be serviceable under the circumstances. But that’s just me. Phil Kieran’s version has some nice touches and throbs nicely. Mostly feels a bit phoned in though
