Review: Hello and welcome to the future. Your guide today will be Abakus, he'll take you to eight different sonic destinations and be on hand to answer any questions you have about this exciting new dimension. Be sure to stay in the vehicle at all times as some of bass drops here are so rounded, deep and wobbly you may well bounce off them into another dimension altogether. Amongst the textured, detailed soundscape and flexible, elastic tempos you will notice similarities to other future-focused electronic luminaries such as Orbital, Plump DJs and Bassnectar. Thank you for choosing Modus Airways, we hope to see you in the future again very soon. Have a delightful trip.
Review: 2nd album from Cinnamon Chasers, Science is the second album from Cinnamon Chasers, the best known alias of producer Russ Davies. It's a very different beast to his most recent single, 2010's Balearic-nudisco sleeper hit "The Bomb". Whereas that was squarely aimed at the dancefloor, Science explores poppier pastures. Unashamedly melodic, heavy on FX-laden vocals (think auto tune and/or vocoder) and rippling with radio-friendly synth riffs, it sounds like a hipster-matic fusion of Aeroplane, Friendly Fires, Kris Mencace and Alan Braxe, with a dash of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre thrown in. While those who loved "The Bomb" may struggle to connect, the bittersweet melodies and sparkling synths are hard to resist.
