a collection of through and through breaks, things kick off with the roll mix of the title track life signs, in what is an instant head turner as breaks grooves kick in dominated by rattling snares and deep pulsing bass. you must not be me follows suit, if not on a more melodic tip as the breakdowns are carried by echoing melodic patterns and billowing synth pads. on the flip, the tone is lowered as the lights go down for the bleep mix version of life signs, this time around a more eerie approach with clashing melodies and harder hitting drums. recollection acts as the perfect come down for what is an intense listen as ambience takes a hold for the final four minutes.

while achieving great success as a member of the buggles, yes, and art of noise, trevor horn also worked as producer for many popular musicians, such as paul mccartney, frankie goes to hollywood, tom jones, cher, grace jones, seal, tina turner, lisa stansfield, pet shop boys, simple minds, and mike oldfield.

naura records is proud to be back to present another strong release this time some lost archive material that goes back to the very beginning of his productions. bleak delivers 3 cuts of his custom recipe but somehow adds new unexpected flavours throughout this ep even though staying on his formal path. starting with the a side, dust (mix1) takes off with an introspective journey with detroit and classic techno. a real head turner with a classy ride and functional feeling dust (mix2) more for the deeper realm, accompanied with enchanted melodies as a twist. finally on the flip, element samples the heartbeat of a even deeper state, where one is allowed to lose yourself. get a hold of something solid, for this is a tune that communicates a lot of subtle changes and honesty.
