REVIEW > inverted-audio.com/review/lord-of-the-isles-in-waves

@lordoftheisles has turned his hand to a full length, working closely with NYC based @esp-institute to distil a wide selection of tracks from the past few years into 'In Waves'.  For a man without any academically noticeable 'talent' for music the resulting album is, quite simply, excellent.

The Power Of Now - Cómeme

It’s been two years since Stefan Z last released on this label, but the three tracks he serves up prove the wait has been more than worth it.

The Berlin based Canadian is the boss of the Rhombus label and is a top electronic production talent. He makes his sounds stand out with slick vocals or moving melodic elements, most likely because of his formally trained piano and trumpet playing skills. He’s had support from the likes of Sasha, Solomun and Adriatique, and his label parties in Vancouver were key in developing the city’s underground scene.

The super title track goes first and is a freaky number with spacecraft circling the groove, building tension in the melodic riffs and futurism in the drums. It’s a dramatic track with heavy, lumpy kicks and one to jolt the floor into action.

‘Borni’ is another long and involving tune, this time with more mystery and suspense in the way it builds. The drums get you marching as synths and ghoulish motifs pan about to creepy effect. It’s a real set building track that keeps you on edge.

Lastly, ‘Cipe’ is the toughest of the lot, with stiff hits and withering cosmic chords speaking of an intergalactic war. Underpinned by warm bass, it’s a widescreen cinematic affair with real beauty in the pads that eventually take over the show.

All three tracks here are mini epics that really take you on a trip.

Stefan Z - Borni

The order of the day was not a request but a command. There was a shout from the kitchen and the waiter came sprinting outwards into the foyer of the restaurant. He looked frightened, scared even of what might be next to follow... An order bellowed from between the double doors behind him...

"Don't ever come back..."

He did not turn around and look as to whose voice had loomed large in the open space for he already knew. Don't piss off the chef...

Bostro Pesopeo is the next to release on the Huntleys & Palmers sub label Belters. A four track, club ready EP with purposeful intent and a touch of style.
