Future Sound of London finally reissue their iconic 'Mental Cube' singlesThe pulsing low end of ‘Phasor’ sets the scene for what is to come. Roaring synths and swells of effects get us hyped from the start. The simplicity of the main elements is made incredibly impressive given the energy the duo create. Exhilarating is a term that slots perfectly with this track.
Christian Burkhardt likes to seriously test and stretch his sonic boundaries, boundaries which are almost non-existent given his creative flair. His take on ‘Phasor’ is one of extremely interesting results. Christian creates a fantastically dark atmosphere which would work brilliantly in any Tech House environment. The resonant sounds fill the middle of the frequency range, working hand in hand with a minimal drum groove and a deep, bitty bassline got me seriously bopping along to the beat.
‘All Things’ has a fascinating aura about it. The looping tribal bongos shift us straight into 5th gear. The break showers us with spacial movement and a harmonious vocal. The pumped up bongo’s filter until the track comes back in with a bang. The tone, the energy and the mood set by this collection of records I outstanding and a great demonstration of what can be achieved when the duo team up together, it leaves me wanting more!
