System 7 live @ Boom Festival 2010

Following on from 2011’s joyful techno-orientated album UP, System 7 hit the spot with their new Passion EP – showing that in 2012 they remain on top of their game with their unique blend of trance and techno.

The fourth and closing track is a more chilled tech-house remix of “Chihiro 61298” from System 7’s ‘Phoenix’ album – remixed by Evan Marc (aka Bluetech) who has a huge reputation on the chillout scene and with whom Steve has made numerous collaborations. The Evan Marc Remix layers traditional ambient japanese tones over a searing piece of tech funk.

System 7 - Chihiro 61298 (Evan Marc Remix)

Following on from 2011’s joyful techno-orientated album UP, System 7 hit the spot with their new Passion EP – showing that in 2012 they remain on top of their game with their unique blend of trance and techno.

The third track on the EP is connected to a new project System 7 are doing with Japanese rock jam-band Rovo called “Phoenix Rising”, which is based on Rovo making live versions of System 7 tunes and System 7 making techno versions of Rovo tunes. The two bands made a highly successful tour of Japan in 2011, where they morphed between the different versions, inspiring a new collaborative ‘Phoenix Rising’ album to be released in autumn 2013 and another tour for that time in both Japan and UK/Europe. This ethereal guitar-driven stripped down tech track provides a taster – and displays the interesting sonic combination of Steve Hillage’s lead guitar and the electric violin of Rovo’s Yuji Katsui.

System 7 - The Eagle

System 7 - Space Bird - Liquid Soul Remix (edit)

System 7 - Planet 7 (edit)

System 7 - Bewitched (edit)

System 7 - Europa (Blue)  (edit)

This track uses some sounds first used on a track from the first System 7 album in 1991 in collaboration with Alex Paterson, who is credited here as a co-writer. Another exploration of the interesting territory between prog house and psy-trance, this track also has an openly old school bleepy rave feel to it that pays homage to the original acid-house explosion of the late 80s. "A revolution in attitude - a revolution in consciousness" - a concept that is ever more needed today in this time of senseless wars and global stupidity.
