Simeon Bowring has made the long wait worth it, this is a wonderful return after more than a decade's absence since his last masterpiece, "Anthology". The music here is complex, beautifully composed electronica, what some folks used to call "intelligent dance music", or better yet, "living room techno". Breaking a bit from the past, it's more textured, less ambient, and has some tasty vocals from Kirsty Hawkshaw on a couple of tracks. The stormy "Zeitgeist" has some real noise but is absolutely gorgeous and gives me goosebumps. I totally agree with my respected discogger, Escapist, who urges you to go buy this great album and support an artist who I hope does not keep us waiting as long for the next long player.
All good things to those who wait. How very true.
After waiting 11 years (!) since his classic "Anthology" release, Mr. Bowring has created another classic piece of electronic magic. It's less low-key than "Anthology" but there are still elements of the ethereal melodies. To simplify it the tone of this album, you can say that it's more "commercial" than his previous work using the Pentatonik alias. But you didn't hear that from me... ;-)
KIrsty Hawkshaw lends her voice to two tracks wonderfully, adding her sweet vibes to the fold.
It's a terrific album. Go get it now! Really. Go. I'm serious.
