Review: After a couple of fundraising-focused compilations, what we have here is the first-ever EP release from Viscera Transmissions, a new label based in the UK's southwest and born out of a podcast and blog of the same name. 'Mirror Claws' itself operates in the currently very fertile hinterland between Italo/cosmic disco and progressive/melodic house, and as such would play nicely with both. Much the same could be said of the other two originals, while on the remix front Jonny Rock Dragon takes 'Vanished Angst' down a trippier, spacier route while 'Night Crawler' is treated to a rave-y, breaks-y refix courtesy of Chez De Milo.
Review: Emerging slowly from understated beginnings, 'Running Into The Sun' sees Komodo deliver the kind of expansive tones that easily establish a vibe on the dancefloor, nodding to progressive house's fundamentals while borrowing plenty from earthier, more organic-sounding ends of the four-four scene. Eric Duncan does the business on the remix, taking it into tougher territory and throwing in a cacophony of drummy intersections that help build the atmosphere, placing the whole arrangement on a knife-edge. 'Slow Burning' does what it says on the tin, growing and grooving its way through spiralling synths and acidic inflections, adding some gentle chords to bring in some welcome melody. Latrec evidently has a different understanding of the phrase given his remix, cutting back to throbbing kick drums while allowing just enough of the harmony to enter earshot, with trance-like results.
