I'll leave you now - in safe hands
cool your soul - this love still stands
but failing that - just cool down
wouldn't you love to make it
is this real or am I just imagining?

with wings take flight - a rose of white
and with that rose - the case is closed
but I need you now - to help me somehow
and I'm scared to face it - this final kiss
but I know you'll remember it

you gave your best to me
allow yourself to be free.... free... free
and erase your memory
well I'm sorry for failing
a time for change - but I need you now
to help me out - still I'm scared to face this
our final kiss
but I know I'll remember it

Arkadia - Skinny Dip (ICR remix)[Death Proof Recordings ‎– DPR029]

Such Unimportant Things Like Us is ICR's most mature (and probably his final) drum and bass work to date, incorporating the very essence of his love of precisious drumworks and sensual musicality. The album is built around one topic that can be easily read out from the titles: it's about love and struggle for acceptance. As with this final chapter he closes his dnb roots, a new stage is already set: To Make Right What's Left is a necessary step forward, focused on 4/4 territory and other mid-tempo genres. The trademark deep and cinematic ICR sound remains the same, but in new forms. The double album is the best way to gain insight ICR's mind and soul thru his forward-thinking music in full spectre.

03. The Moments I Ruined (Synus0006 remix)

Following his mid-tempo and house releases on Chi Recordings, Fokuz, and Orson (including his remix for Howie B), Hungarian multi-genre talent ICR still has undiscovered paths to explore. Now he ventured the stage of techno with such confidence and originality as you would expect.
Groovy percussions, bouncy beats with haunting atmospheres in shady tones drives ICR's moody production into something epic yet melancholic 4/4 ; while fellow artist from Budapest, Synus0006 has a unique, stripped-down minimal re-take on the title track, which is more than hypnotic.

Sweet Smell Syringa

Zoltan Gal as known as ICR is the founder of the hungarian electronic music scene's well respected home, ImpulseCreator - serving the drum and bass and urban music community since 1999. Besides his work as an editor and journalist, dozens of releases proved that his artistic vein is fulled with musical variety and uncpompromising creativity. After releasing on various acclaimed dnb labels (Good Looking, Offshore, Cov Ops, Influence, Counter Intelligence, MJazz) and his tunes were spinned by the likes of DJ Flight, Grooverider, Fabio, Tony Colman or Marcus Intalex - he started running his own label. Misspent Music lived two years, recruiting a group of like-minded producers, supporting up and coming artists as well as giving an opportunity to show ICR's experimental side on two full length albums.

Meanwhile releasing his final dnb work (his 5th official, double-LP on Fokuz) his interests of music turned from dnb to slower genres. With EP's on hungarian labels Glack Audio, Chi Recordings, Bounce and international releases on Orson, Nice and Smooth, Society 3.0 and Death Proof, he has already proved that his house, bass, downtempo breaks and techno music is also worth to check. The trademark deep and cinematic ICR sound remains the same, but in new forms.
