Luke Standing's Blue Hour project has consistently taken influence from 90s techno - so it comes as no surprise that this remix package also makes reference to that period. The key difference however, is that those tasked with reworking his music have taken inspiration from the tougher end of 90s techno. Mark Broom's version of "Common Ground" is a case in point; its surging chords and acid lines resound to the loopy urgency that you would normally associate with Jeff Mills. Similarly, the Pangaea take on "Falling Lines" is a dense, drum-heavy affair and even Substance's take on "Untitled" doesn't stray too far from the scuffled dub sound of Basic Channel and Chain Reaction. Only VC-118A's version of "Introspective 2' diverges from this approach, with its deep synths and tight electro rhythm.
