David Morley - Ghosts - 25-Jun-07 01:36 PM
We had to wait nine long years for a new David Morley album, a top release. After the release of Tilted, his last contribution for R Records, David disappeared to the background of the electronic music scene. For sure he continued making ambient music and he produced a lot of tracks with or for the ambient diva Andrea Parker at the end of '90s but those tracks were always released under Andrea's name.

I contacted David two years ago because I had a recording of a show he did in 1995 or 1996 on a brussels radio station. Most of the tracks he played during that broadcast were unreleased at that time. Some of them were released later on in 1998 on the Stardancer EP but still two tracks remained unreleased. I asked David more info about them and sent him the recording of the broadcast. He was very pleased with that because he complete had forgotten it. One of them was "Trampling Gently", a very smooth and subtle analogue ambient masterpiece. David promised me that he would release the track if he could find the DAT-tape back. Luckily he found it back and he made my wish come through.

This album is a compilation of tracks he made between 1990 and 2000. In 2007 he finally decided to edit and to remaster them (maybe because I pushed him a little bit to release some stuff hé hé).

It's the "crème de la crème" of melodic ambient music. As no one else David can manipulate, sync and control his old modular synths to achieve an excellent combination of simple, complex, arpegiatted and lushed vintage sounds. He models them into such beautiful melodies that you can feel living the synths. They are no cool, static and clean electronic machines anymore but warm, soulful, living extensions of David's mind and heart.

Audela - 39 Mysterions - 13-May-07 06:03 PM
39 mysterions is definitely my favourite Audela track, a long journey into space.

I pushed the start button and knew immediately that this would be an overwhelming experience. A smooth sound faded in. It came far behind me and surrounded me. After a couple of minutes my body became weightless, my bloodpressure felt off ... A voice said: "heartbeat 108" ... my brains disconnected ... "heartbeat 79" ... I closed my eyes ... "heartbeat 63" ... where am I? ... "heartbeat 47" ... what is this all about? ... "heartbeat 39 ... 39 ... 39 ... you're ok now". I opened my eyes and was completely astonished by the beauty I saw. I was transported some lightyears away from earth to a new unexplored world. A magenta fog covered the stars. On my left an ocean of comets passed without making any sound or noise. Behind me appeared a tunnel of light. Then the sound came back, very loudly. The wave pushed me some lightyears further into a big fireball. What an experience! I heared a drone spinning from left to right. Deep blue gasses exploded from the fireball. I felt a pressure in my chest. The explosion blew me back into darkness for a couple of minutes.

I was laying on my bed and heared a snoozing sound. I opened my eyes and took a look to the digital clock near my bed. It indicated "39:39". Someone had put a cd case on my night table. It was from an artist I never heared before: Audela - 39 mysterions. I pushed the start button.

Integrity II* - Living In A Fantasy - 25-May-06 03:14 AM
What a brilliant record! "Living In A Fantasy" is pure Detroit style. Perfect melody, heavy lead sound and a great climax. A vocal remix of it would have been a big succes. "Nightshift" is an ode to the TR-808. But the best track on this record is "Intens", a true masterpiece. The track begins with some compressed beats and a low synth pad. Then a harder beat comes in followed by a clap and a harder clap, rolling toms,congas and broken snares while the synth pads grow in the background .... Oooh man, I shiver every time I hear it .... Maarten Vandervleuten mixed it all so perfectly well to a beautiful climax. It's a pitty for him that this record just has been released on Outrage and not on Transmat. It would have been a classic. (for me it is)

French Theory - Volume One - 12-May-06 08:50 AM
Fantastic release from discogs user "BomberOne". Although it was released in march 2006, this is a real oldskool record. It sounds like the Hardbeat records from 1989 on Complete Kaos. Even the sleeve has that oldskool look.

The first track "2006=1989" refers to Edwards and Armani's "Acid Drill" with a strong military shout in the intro.

The second one "2006=1988" is a very dark new-beat track with some heavy basses.

"Acid Reprise" is just brilliant! It's a pitty that it's so short. Please BomberOne, make some long version of this.

Andrea Parker & David Morley - Angular Art - 20-Mar-06 04:58 PM
The first time I heard these tracks was during an ambient dinner party that was organized by R Records in septembre 1994. This party was one of the many activities that Renaat had organized to celebrate the 10 years of existing of the famous label. Renaat Vandepapeliere invited many people of the techno and ambient scene (like Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Mark Bell, Alex Patterson, CJ Bolland, Colin Dale, Robert Leiner, Carl Craig, Mike Dredd, ...) and some journalists in the garden of Electric Island in Ghent, the villa with the R studios. Mixmaster Morris and Renaat were the dj's and David Morley did a live act with Andrea Parker. Later on I found that the ambient tracks they had playing live on this party were released on this record.
Four brilliant and very dark ambient tracks. My favourite one is "After Dark". This track drag you down to an abyss that's never been explored by human beings. Really shivering but also so very beautiful. Andrea and David in top condition!
