Move D • Namlook* – Move D • Namlook XXI • Stranger I

This is a great release!

Stranger - The bassline and rhythm are to some extent similar to "Sleeplearning" from Move D/Namlook XI – Sons of Kraut, specifically the second part of stranger, although this is more house oriented. The touches like the pianos chords, Namlook solos a la Namlook's Air I project and well crafted EMS tones makes it a warm and organic track. It has the same magic as "Softwired" from Wired. Very well produced and filled with joy. Throughout the track it is recognizable that Pete and Dave really enjoy making music :)

SWAH - A little less impressive than the first track, not because its less good, but mainly because it sounds like a remix of their last release "Taygete" in terms of re-use of certain melodies and synth layers. The "new" elements like the guitar riff, warm deep house tones and synth-line fit very well. The second part of the track is the best part of te album. The way they put the focuss on the warm deep synth layer is very smooth and suchs you in a very comfortable environment. It all fits very well, although im not really a fan of the guitar riff.

Overall this is a very good and enjoyable release, however it lacks a little bit identity which is the problem with all the albums of the triology.
