Through its first 50 releases, Flextone Recordings has followed a simple blueprint: showcase a wide variety of musical styles, all served up by an international cast of producers. Their latest release, Coldberg & Repton's "Always," stays true to that winning formula.

The Lithuanian-born prog duo's debut release on Flextone has a slightly orchestral feel to it, highlighted by brooding melodies and a breathy, ethereal vocal sample. Englishman A.D.T.P. steers his gorgeous re-work deeper, building it incrementally with moody pads and delicate atmospherics – an impressively polished piece of music. Leeds-based producer Simon Firth paints a frenetic collage of uptempo acid trance with his remix, while Manchester's Funny Tangle takes a more languid approach, dialing down the pace behind loping beats and impishly throbbing synths. Finally, another Brit-based artist Ernest Luminor – takes two cracks at remix duties: the first an offbeat excursion into abstract electronica, the latter an ambient, percussion-free exploration of the same theme. - Christopher Robin (Flextone Recordings)
