referencing Electric Calm V.2, CD, GUEC002CD

V.2 was conceived as a sequel to Electric Calm, but has now been born as an album with it's own personality, and it's own incarnation of tranquil, electronic music. Imagine V.1 as a retrospective definition of Quad Communications, and V.2 as a neoteric projection of the music to come from Global Underground Music, the label - well, in a tranquil guise.

As important to the album as the tracks themselves, is the manner in which they are blended together to form the metaphorical ‘musical journey’. Again, entrusted to this task was the ever-present 'Forth'. When asked how the process of mixing the two albums differed the most, the reply was to point out the level of 'Electric Calming' that had taken place to create this.

Each track has been carefully cut, edited, layered, and essentially 'Calmed', so that the resulting flow of the album, could never hope to have been created with a mere two decks and one mixer. Often this is an aspect to a mix album that is either hidden or denied yet in this case, the use of technology has been fully embraced and totally abused.

Imagine this album as a carefully developed soundtrack to a story that you haven’t yet been told, and know nothing about. Let each track develop the atmosphere in your head and ask you questions that you couldn’t possibly know yet. When you've finished, listen again, find the things you won't have heard before, because there will be some; at least one. There is more to this album that you could possibly hear in one listen.
