Ever Vivid - "Facing The Heavens" - (7:40) 121 BPM
Nick Dunton - "Leaving The Planet" - (7:02)
124 BPM Review: If the ethereal end of techno is your thing, then you'd be well advised to check this latest missive on Surface. The brilliantly named Ever Vivid - an alias for Nick Dunton - delivers "Facing The Heavens", an introspective affair, led by airy synths and subtle chord melodies. Despite the use of hissing, nagging percussion, the overall approach is suited to home listening rather than the dancefloor. Dunton's "Leaving the Planet", under his own name, is a somewhat different proposition: here the bass is more pulsing and the combination of soaring synths and dubby chords create a sonic vapour trail that'll prove irresistible for those who love it deep.
