For the first in a series of reinterpretations of material from Linkwood s superb Expressions album, Firecracker Recordings has turned to Chicago deep house veterans Ghosts of the Sky (AKA Perpetual Rhythms Chicagodeep and Taelue), and fast-rising machine abusers Nummer. The latter dive into an aquatic techno tip, turning the becalmed and melancholic Love Lost into a techno-tempo stroll through vintage Carl Craig chords, sweaty machine percussion, and yearning melodies. Theres a warmer and heavier, if surprisingly stripped back, feel to Ghosts of the Sky s version of Object, with spluttering electronics and sumptuous chords stretching out over a rich synth bassline and hissing, cymbal-heavy groove.
