Metroland's "Brother EP's" Reviewed

Metroland release their 3rd single "Brother", from the album "Things Will Never Sound The Same Again" on August 3rd, a date that is special to the band as it is the first anniversary of the sudden death of their sound/mastering engineer Louis Zachert.

For this release the band made available the track stems so fans and other artists could remix the track. This has resulted in 2 5 track EP's.


Metroland provide the first remix of "Brother" and as you would expect it has a tight rhythm section as well as great sequenced bass-lines and melodies. Next we have the B Side "See You", a track that has really grown on me, a definite nod in the direction of Depeche Mode and has Marsheaux providing sampled vocals. It's a track that oozes energy, quite an uplifting track. The overall winner of the remix competition for this release was Axel Kleintjes and his remix of "Brother" starts with heavy drums and has a distinct harder industrial feel to it. Restriction 9's remix is both beautiful and melodic, I like his use of the main hook line in the track against a four to the floor rhythm section, has more of a pop feel and is definitely my favourite remix on EP1. The final remix on the first EP is the Sawtooth's Lush Wasteland Mix. It's another fantastic effort, a more domineering bass-line on this version, with some nice mecahnical drum effects and sounds.

And so on to EP2.....

This EP kicks off with another extended remix of the track by Metroland and it is well constructed and a true 80s style 12 inch mix, which I love. Cyborgdrive's remix gives the track an "Acid overhaul", brilliant use of lead and pad sounds as well on this mix, it has heavier rhythm patterns that work so well with the music. Next is the Diem+Redux+Remix, which sees a more minimal approach than the previous remix, it is atmospheric and again makes good use of the melodic parts of the song. People Theatre is a remix name I am very familiar with and he doesn't disappoint on this mix, as with a lot of his remixes the piano plays a big part, using piano on the lead melody is just perfect, brilliantly constructed sequencer parts against a very minimal drum section, definitely the best remix on this EP. Finally we have the Retroland Remix by Electrofachbetrieb, which is quite powerful sounding, especially with the rhythm section, there is  great use of choir sounds and a brilliant bass-line, all fusing together to make an excellent remix.

This is a wonderful way to close this paticular chapter in Metrolands history and a fitting way to complete their tribute to a good friend and colleague, Louis Zachert.

"Heart Of The Sun" By Frank Ayers Reviewed

"Heart Of The Sun" is the 3rd album by French musician, Frank Ayers. This is an album, that, in my mind forms a trilogy, with the albums that preceded it, "Different Skies" and "Footnotes" all inspired by the music of the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream.


The new album opens with the title track, a brilliant Jarresque sequencer forms the backbone of the track, supplemented with melodic sections and brass stabs, a track that sets the tone of the album. "Jupiter Lane" features beautiful and atmospheric strings, alongside some very nice percussive effects and strong melodies. This is a breathtaking piece of music, listen on headphones, it will take you to far off places. "Way Of Shen Dao" definitely is a nod in the direction of Jean Michel Jarre, the lead synth lines are superb and dominate the track, which again is very atmospheric. "Planck's Parabole" is an interesting track with it's percussive intro, again very strong lead synth lines and melodic parts, as well as superbly constructed sequencer parts. The melody a minute into the track is sublime, this track is more minimal than the previous tracks and builds up well and is very impressive. "Lost Spirit" is fantastic, a gentle melody and beautiful pad sounds, no more is needed.....perfect!

Next we have the first of 4 parts of a track called "Biogenesis", Strings, Pads and Choirs make this ooze beauty, as with other tracks on the album this really is a wonderful haunting atmospheric track, again listening on headphones is a must! "Biogenesis (Part 2)" has a more upbeat feel to it, trademark sequencer and synth stabs blend well to form another excellent track. "Biogenesis (Part 3)" takes the listener on to a more eerie and mysterious journey with it's synth sounds all of which are used to very good effect. The pad sounds are once again so beautiful and enticing, I love this, probably the standout track. "Biogenesis (Part 4)" which closes the album is a wall of sound, sequencers, synth leads, arps all blend perfectly, it has a harder edge I would say but is a fine way to end the album, I like the way how gradually towards the end it becomes more minimal.

It's an album that takes you on a galatic journey and shows Frank has real talent for this type of electronic music and if you are a big fan of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis or Tangerine Dream, this album will definitely appeal to you.

Metroland's "Synthetic Sound EP" Reviewed

Metroland are back with a new single "Synthetic Sound", a track taken from their impressive album "Things Will Never Sound The Same Again".


"Synthetic Sound" is probably as close as you can get to that "Metroland Sound" fans will be familiar with and with it's wonderful sequenced melodies and pulsating rhythms it wouldn't be out of place on "Mind The Gap" or "Triadic Ballet". With this release Passenger S & Passenger A have kept all remixes "in house".

The EP is available in 2 downloadable 3 track packages. There are 2 7 Inch Versions as well as 2 12 Inch Mixes, all of which are outstanding, especially the "Even More Mix" which is very Kling Klang and would fit beautifully on Kraftwerk's "Computer World" album. The alternate 7 & 12 Inch mixes feature rhythm and sequencer melody changes as well as other crafted sounds. The alternate versions are brilliant. The other remix is the "1000 Hertz Acid Mix", which instantly reminded me of a Manchester band from the 90's 808 State, some really excellent Acid touches as you would expect from this mix, this is a really interesting remix of the track and again shows that Metroland are perfectly at home remixing their own tracks.

An outstanding collection of remixes of "Synthetic Sound" that tick all the boxes for me.......I will also let you into a little secret, they are currently looking at concepts for the next album already!

5/5

Neon's Eurostar Remixes EP Reviewed

I have known Gary Wright (Neon) for a number of years through social media and am a massive fan of his work, whilst this is Neon's official first release, there is a long history and a wealth of Kraftwerk inspired tracks recorded, which will hopefully will form part of an album, it is long overdue and believe me there are some real gems.


I've always felt that "Eurostar" was one of Neon's best tracks and was surprised to see that the original was recorded as far back as 2007 and is included in this remix package. The original mix I regard as an updated version of Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express", a great rhythm track and superb sequencers, with vocoder vocal parts. The Zeropage remix has more of an ambient feel to it at the start before moving into dance territory, some nice electronic touches on this track and great use of the bass-line.

The Maschine Brent remix has a powerful rhythm section which is utilized really well, this stays pretty close to Neon's original version with bigger sounding synth parts. Really pleased to see Jonteknik provide a remix for this release, I have loved Jon's work for a number as well and he doesn't disappoint with his more minimal mix, it's trademark Jonteknik, so, if you love Jon's work you will love this mix.

The DATAPOP Remix is very impressive, it's been given quite a major re-work, it sounds big and the vocal aspects have been well used, probably my favourite mix.

The EP closes with Neon's own 2016 remix of the track, definitely a more of a Kraftwerk vibe with this new mix, I love the new rhythm parts he has created and the Kraftwerkesque sequence melodies, a perfect way to round off the EP.

A fantastic EP that will have Kraftwerk fans drooling, hopefully this is only the beginning of some more Neon releases, an album would be brilliant and would, without doubt, be well received.

10/10
