first 'love': a killer deep minimal groovy tune with a poppy synth line that just stays into your head forever… followed by reynold's remix (half of duplex100 and trenton’s owner). on b side 'sex' is just this outstanding electro tech house track, definitely the dance-floor treat of that record! it is fat. it grooves and drives… finally 'psychic kids' could actually be a dance remix of a boards of canadas tune… a very strange and atmospheric cut to end a set… or to start it ?

was i the wave? is the ophomore offering from montreal musician and producer miracle fortress (graham van pelt). miracle fortress gained international recognition in 2007 for his debut album five roses, a unique collection of psychedelic shoegazey-pop that garnered high praise from numerous outlets. it was also short listed for canadas polaris prize that year, alongside arcade fires neon bible and feists the reminder. while it bears little stylistic resemblance to his debut, was i the wave? is in some ways a similar offering, insofar as it takes us on a trip deep into van pelts unique musical mind. theres not much of an argument for calling this record indie-rock-its essentially an electronic offering--but existing fans wont find it too difficult to hear van pelts signature hooks swimming among the big synths, and deep beats. like five roses, it was created in isolation from top-to-bottom, with van pelt serving as composer, arranger, performer, producer, and engineer. taken as a product of his occasionally hermitic temperament, many of tracks here express themes of alienation, anonymity, or the desire for the assurances of intimacy.
