Review: Steve Miller has been serving up Ibiza-inspired downtempo, chill out and Balearic tracks since the mid 1990s, so you'd expect his new album - titled 'Modern Balearic' in a nod to its contents - to be assured, atmospheric and expertly crafted. He begins via the densely layered ambient dub psychedelia of 'Rubadub', before drifting between stretched-out classic chill-out soundscapes ('Kya'), extra-percussive shroom-house ('Hallucinomat'), dubby nu-disco ('Sugarfoot', the bubbly beauty of 'Natural Causes'), saucer-eyed sunrise deepness ('Tiger Child', 'Bufo'), low-slung deep house haziness ('All I Wanted'), breakbeat-driven Balearic nu-jazz (the sub-heavy excellence of 'One Fine Day'), and acid-flecked, trance-inducing dancefloor bliss ('Big Ship').
