Review:
In something of a surprise link up after the poppy strains of his latest album, Scuba has turned to the emerging talents of Recondite. Already known for his deeply atmospheric cuts full of intricate melodic nuances, his two versions of "The Hope" continue that theme with little more than a treatment of the vocal to align it to the originals. The "Nocturnal Car Ride" mix is a restrained workout that keeps the hits light and gentle while a mournful pad steers the story Recondite wants to share with us. The "Morning Promenade" mix is only barely more pumped up, with the same leaning towards space and self-control as it's counterpart remix.
