Here we see the return of Steve Birch under his more underground alias. Steve continues to be one of the star producers here at JOOF recordings and also one of the hardest working. Two artist albums released within six months, and the third is well under way??!! He is a true talent and has a natural ability in the studio. This album is yet more proof that Steve has a long future ahead of him. Now you have the task of choosing what tracks you will play out, they are all so dam good!! 12 tracks to choose from too!
We think this is the best JOOF album to date, I think you'll also agree.
Release Date: 7.3.06
Track Listing:
1. Blue
2. Dream Sequence
3. Dreams Don't Pay Bills
4. Inside The Future
5. Locked In Darkness
6. Lost Without You
7. Oxygen
8. Space Station - featuring Marcie
9. Stranded At Sea - Steve Birch Remix
10. Voodoo Magic
11. War Of The Worlds
12. Enhance
My Review:
I definitely like the direction Steve Birch is going with this album. From his previous releases his production has improved significantly. This album has some great tracks, in particular I'm really enjoying 'Dreams Don't Pay the Bills' and 'Space Station'. The whole album has an old school goa feel, but incorporates modern production techniques. The bass is crisp, kick prominent and overall sounds are big. His sound really reminds me of some older Laughing Buddah tracks off of Transient.
Overall a solid release, I'll definitely play several of these tracks. My main comment, is that the direction of this album is very different from that of current psytrance. To me, that's extremely refreshing, especially in a time where so many producers are simply rehashing the ideas of other musicians.
Good work Steve!
