'Landscaping' is a dance floor classic, with soaring synth tones, well sampled saxaphone melody, and a stunning bass strum that will get everyone moving. It starts off swing time with a Heavy jungle break and squelchy bassline at the end.
'Get there tonight' is a heavy dropping bass shaker of a track, with a futuristic synth delay and off kilter bass melody, again good on the dancefloor.
'Soul Clap 2000' is a more progressive tune, whereas " Insomnia in Dub' is a slowtime, moody track with dubby sounds and beautiful synthesis yet again.
All these tracks are pretty different from each other, and each one is a must have on it's own. What makes it so great is the futuristic sound of detroit combined with funk jazz and soul styles and samples. This nod back to the roots is similar to the sounds of Theo Parrish and Moodymann, but Recloose stands proud here with killer synthesis to boot.
This release ushers me to think that along with Theo and Moodymann, detroit and techno itself still retain any true sense of soul.
