Review by Sketchell
Inthemix, 3D World, The Brag, Vibewire, TFB, Perspectrum, M:L:R
==============================================
While the trendy set continues to worship at the altar of electro-house, purist prog-heads have remained faithful to a sound that by its very definition continues to push new boundaries. Athens-based labels Cosmic Leaf and Unicorn Music have continued their role as leaders of the progressive music renaissance, bringing new disciples to the fold, and building up an impressive back catalogue along the way. This second volume of Inside Progress finds ten new gems ranging in style from dubby prog cuts to highly twisted psychadelia.
Artists from the Unicorn stable own the first half of the disc. First up are Chris Bravos and Vasilis Filios, back under their Percussion Bullet guise and firing on all cylinders with the smashing Enveloop. Taking a minute or so to engage, Enveloop rapidly gains momentum, finally launching into a bouncy realm of reverb and spacey atmospherics. Eight golden minutes later this elastic world is conquered by Fly With Me, the latest production from 23 year old Mike Petropoulos aka Sunhize. Built around spectral synths, warm pads and a bright bassline, Fly With Me is a delicately crafted slow burner with the most enchanting diamond-tipped vocals.
Eniak steps up the intensity, with Inner Desert building into a hypnotising charmer that belongs in the record crates of any self-respecting trance maestro. Driven by a fervent beat and loaded with sun-kissed and warm and floaty vibes, this is a tune destined for a big season. Sidling up next is a tune from D.Batistatos and D.Niotzivakis’ new Myproduct alter ego. Kinky Girl is an attempt at progressive electro, and while it is interesting to hear such a fusion, its genre identity problem robs it of any lasting impact.
Closing off the Unicorn side of things is Aviron’s Funky Dudes. Featuring a deceptively welcoming title, Funky Dudes is no friendly, groove laden affair. Oh no. It’s a time-shifted, twisted-up psychedelic experience. Sounds frantically rush around, briefly meshing before exploding away from each other in a blaze of tonality. Underpinning this mischief is a menacing b-line that can only be described as extremely deranged. Funky Dudes is seriously unsettling stuff that needs to be played with all lights blazing to ward off the interstellar invaders it invites through some form of warped Morse code.
Cosmic Leaf’s brightest stars take the reins for the second half of the disc, offering an escape from Aviron’s sonic lunacy. Cydelix is up first with Out Of My Life, a tune that punches out of the speakers in true progressive psychadelic stormin’ style. The track’s highlight is definately the delicious and meandering breakdown. Not to be outdone, Zero Cult dishes up London 13, a brooding and layered soundscape peppered with fuzzy percussion.
MTL’s Southern Lights switches tactics, conjuring up feelings of being cloaked in a protective spacesuit, slowly drifting through the dark climes of space before encountering a shimmering black hole that offers a spellbinding sirens song of pure uncut electronica. Resonating strings melt into a whirlpool of… well you really have to hear it to understand it. A duelling Side Liner vs Cydelix continue the descent, weaving a somewhat aquatic, deep and dubby quagmire of psy-laced sounds in the form of Nightmare’s Music Box. Finally, there at the end to clinch the deal, an unexpected breaks mix of Tim Vekka’s Differente courtesy of Cosmic Leaf label boffin Side Liner. Very tidy indeed.
Inside Progress 2 should convince even the most jaded critic that progressive is still a genre full of surprises.
