another smooth release by amplified orchestra which goes way beyond the hip disco edits we hear all the time. on this obscure chicago label (hand stamped and no further artist info) we get 3 tracks with the sublime moon voyage (based on an old cosmic disco-funk track, but completly rebuild), the incredible asteriod (reminiscent to early moodyman and rick wade. very good detroit house) and the disco-funk-soul stepper lets have a ball. nice one

sleepy hollow was obviously inspired by the movie of the same name. it is one of my favourite pictures by tim burton and i really like the dark, creepy atmosphere of it. the bass-line recreates this mood to an extent that it scares me, makes me shiver. i mean, really! regenerate has such a strong techhouse vibe to it, again reminiscent of the early 90s and a very strong groove. excellent percussion programming and modulation by stephan. this one builds and builds until it completely gets you. personally i think all due respect is the most laidback, reduced track on the album. we came up with this distinctive, monotone melody/bass and i loved the feeling right away. definetely the kind of music that i like to play on a sunday after hour session
