D.Uni:Son - Orange

Absolutely beautiful release, the beatless "Even" consists of metallic drones with a melancholic feel billowing back and forth with lots of reverb and delay, in comes Paul St. Hilaire with his warm timbre singing repeatedly lines like: "even in the darkest nights, even in the stormiest days, Jah will show you the way". The Murcof remix, as you might expect, is more stripped down to a few dark piano and string chords & notes, with a minimalistic looped bassline underneath, giving more space for Paul St. Hilaire's sung messages. The Someone (aka Damián Schwartz) rework starts with a straight gated bassdrum almost going through the whole track and is built around the metallic drones of the original "Even" and a small vocal snippet giving the track a more groove-orientated feel without losing its capaciousness. "Orange" at least is pure amazing drone beauty. Moving !!
