The A side, a brand new work from the adoptive Berliner, encapsulates the qualities suggested above. The perfectly relaxed and completely unpretentious "Sumore" rolls along at pulse rate, generates its own energy and swings calmly like a giant pendulum over the dance floor. In the second half the track gradually builds to a majestically restrained melodic climax and hands us over to the flip side with a wry wink of the eye. Its opening track will already be known to keen listeners of Seth Troxler's sensational Boogybytes CD. "Cinema Obscura" also takes its time, radiates an almost stoic tranquillity, breathes ceremoniously, moves in waves until finally a hypnotic, bouncing piano riff flows into the rolling house percussion.
B2 is another 'old acquaintance': we relive listening pleasures with "Good Voodoo", the first 12" hit from Kiki's album Kaiku. Subb-an - a fascinating live set specialist from Birmingham with releases on Mothership, One Records and BPC, has already provided the stripped-down techy sound of the digital bonus track on the "Immortal" single release. His interpretation of "Good Voodoo" follows the flow of the preceding track, using a circling beat and vocal fragments. A constant delay is created out of the track's own sonic microcosm, and this drives Good Voodoo onwards with an irresistible house groove.
