A nice quartet of differing shades, textures and moods here. Azu Tiwaline’s take on ‘Subconscious’ is a nicely weighted piece of linear techno with trance and dub overtones. It’s a patient piece that gradually builds and climaxes with energy to spare. Davis Galvin’s interpretation of ‘Electric Shrine’ takes a more reflective route. The sounds it generates feeling like a literal accompaniment to ships passing each other in the mist. It’s like a Buddha Machine update. This approach feels like it’s being taken up a notch on Flug 8’s remix of ‘It Comes And Goes’, a track that grandiloquently bridges the gap between ambient and disco. And going out on the Symmol Remix of ‘Monin Yiri’, we have another, very atmospheric track in which the space between the beats is crucial to the overall comprehension of the track. All good in the hood, with Flug 8’s rendering of ‘It Comes And Goes’ being my personal pick.
