Review:
House music's premier spiritualist pops up on Innervisions, as label stalwarts Ame and Dixon have a crack at reworking "Envision" from his recent Yoruba LP Pyrography. The Ame Remix in particular is a bit of a doozy, turning the shuffling original into a quietly anthemic epic - all darting synth melodies, warm chords, sparse percussion and delicious riffs wrapped around Osunlade's original vocal. Ame also provide a more stripped down, soft focus Acoustic Remix, while bossman Dixon stays fairly faithful to the original on his ear-pleasing rework. All three versions have that mix of accessible and underground, soulful and electronic that should prove popular on dancefloors this summer.
