The Open Choice - (6:39)
174 BPM Earth Turns - (6:16) 177 BPM
Review: Bedford-based producer Andy Powell - better known as Komatic - has been floating around the D&B scene for sometime. Since making his debut on Emmex in 2008, he's released a range of sparkling, liquid-influenced cuts on SGN Ltd, Celcius, Spearhead and Frequency Factory. Here he returns to Celsius with another fine two-track assault. Both "The Open Choice" and the quietly uplifting "Earth Turns" fuse the melodic depth and emotional resonance of liquid with sturdy grooves and bone-crunching basslines more associated with the darker reaches of D&B. It's a combination that works wonderfully, resulting in one of Powell's strongest releases to date.
