Review: Despite being blessed (if you can call it that) with the dullest E.P title of the week, this latest missive from the mighty Running Back stable is nigh on essential. For starters, it features the resurrection of long-dormant pseudonyms from Roman Flugel (Roman IV) and Alter Ego (Holy Garage). Then there's the small matter of the music, which flits from classic, Chez & Trent style delay-laden deepness (Flugel's "Happy"), to dreamy early '90s deep house nostalgia (Alter Ego's brilliant "Diver Down", all analogue low-end groove, liquid chords and lovingly layered melodies), via Prescription-ish bumpin' loveliness (Flugel's sublime "Heaven Knows"). It all adds up to a killer three-tracker.

Review: Way before the world had fallen in love with the decidedly mind-altering riffs and rhythms of "Geht's Nocht", Roman Flugel was making a name for himself under the Roman IV pseudonym. It was way back in 1995 that he made his debut with "Altes Testament", a classic chunk of Detroit-influenced tech-house that was only the second release on Playhouse. A second 12" followed - featuring the brilliant "Green Tea" - but then little else from Flugel's Roman IV moniker. This new four-tracker for Running Back, then, promises to be something of a treat. In many ways, the German label is the perfect home for Flugel's Roman IV exploits. Famed for releasing long, loopy deep and tech-house epics - think Mark E, Move D and Radio Slave - Running Back will no doubt have been delighted to secure the services of their big-hitting countryman. "La Paloma", then, promises much - and delivers. The title track itself is a hypnotic delight - a ten-minute epic that works all-manner of barely-audible samples (distant bells, jazz samples, crackly pianos) into a weighty, late night tech-house groove. But there's plenty more to enjoy, too. The decidedly trippy "Lucy" wraps dubbed-out chords around a relentless subterranean bassline, while "Sa Celenta" takes a leaf out of Mark E's book by focusing the action around a lazy disco loop and bassline. The package is rounded off by digital bonus "123BPM", an African percussion work-out that will scare more than a few dancefloors this winter. It all adds up to a heady, late night delight that will confound, confuse and thrill in equal measure. Welcome back, Roman.
