DeepChord - Vantage Isle - 20-May-07 12:05 PM
It finally arrives, package from blackhole early this afternoon and thank goodness not as long of a wait as convextion was, it made me change my whole opinion of that release, but now as smoke has cleared its actually sensational. "Vantage Isle" is a gem to the fullest degree and worth every penny, i can see this one being voted album of the year in 2007. The songs are not exactly what you would expect, even better in my opinion and left me addicted to listen to again and again and again. Not your traditional deepchord sound here, sounds very matured and careful expertise and care in every song. This isnt just merely an album, its a statement, the deepest of the deep and they hit the sound perfect, like your floating into the stratosphere or submerged in sub-aquatic depth. Sure, many will say Maurizio or Basic Channel this blah, blah, blah, not the case at all, a very unique effort made from the cult followed deepchord crew who demonstrate once again why they are the best kept secret out of Detroit.
The truly mezmerizing aspects of this album are the ambient and dub transmissions at the end of each side, taking me further into deep space than i have ever explored, like rhythm & sound had invaded my headphones and derrick may & juan atkins decided to join in. This is a true timeless classic which is drenched in detroit mood with a feeling of emotion and passion you cant explain but just tingles through your body. The Convextion mix is breathtaking on so many levels, first i think this is the defining sound of CONVEXTION and has his trademark written all over it, i cant exactly compare it to anyone.. If i had to give my best opinion i would think Pole and Derrick May started a new collaberation and this was the end result to their best work. The whole release is just as good as it gets. Beautiful, thank you for leaving us with a release people will be talking about 20 years from now, timeless classic.

a beautiful timeless release here from Detroits deep chord crew who seem to have the sound of analog to a science. This one is EPIC in every meaning of the word, both sides get under your skin only a way a deepchord records could.
