Reviews & Discussion
Charles Webster has always been one of the quieter, unsung heroes of house music, and his album _All Systems Gone_ as Presence proves this amply. Right from the start, the deep and smoothly hopeful "Future Love" shows his strength in songcrafting. The overall mood of the album is melancholy, though some spots of brightness shine through: the heavenly choir on "Been 2 Long" or the upbeat pep of “Better Day.” But he’s at his best with his mixture of sadness and rhythm. The curious mix of longing and romance finds its perfect soundtrack with "Your Spirit." Herbert's influence shows heavily on "Matter of Fact," which sounds exactly like a Herbert track circa _Around the House_ -- not a bad thing, but not necessarily unique either. “Sense of Danger,” featuring powerhouse vocals from Shara Nelson, shows a stronger feel for Webster’s style. The stolid “Far Far Away From My Heart” closes out the album on a steady beat. Really gorgeous.
