Review: It's some 17 years since Ian Pooley released Since Then, his third and arguably finest full-length excursion. As this first reissue proves, the set has lost none of its' warm and sunny attractiveness in the years since. While cuts such as "Coracao Tambor" and "900 Degrees" got plenty of club plays at the time, it's the German producer's versatility that shines through loud and clear. Amongst the sunny house treats, you'll find cuts that doff a cap to disco, hip-hop, samba, jazz-funk and the then popular San Francisco style of blazed deep house. For this edition, Pooley has also gathered together some of the best remixes of album tracks released in that period, including strong rubs from Faze Action, Tom Middleton, Sheffield survivors Swag and Mood 2 Swing man John Ciafone.
Review: Ian Pooley's legendary and seminal 1998 album Meridian is re-issued on his own Pooled Music, originally released on V2. It features such memorable hits as "What's Your Number" and other played out tracks such as "Relief Action" and "Cold Wait" which many Gen X clubbers will no doubt remember. The production on the album which was made 18 years ago is still impressive and will remain timeless, just like other albums by him such as Since Then and Souvenirs.
