Statues have made their presence felt with a string of impressive releases for a variety of labels from Claremont 56 to Eclectics . Here they offer up their timely summer breezer 'Clear Skies', with crystal clear synths lines evocative of John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream at their 70s finest, powered smoothly by a simple and chilled groove. Coyote Ambient are the first of two guests invited onto the 12" to remix the track, there's proving to be more of a classic 90s chillout reworking, while Vendetta Suite combine a similar vibe with soaring, sunburst guitars and neatly edited live drums. Another original production from Statues completes the package, with 'The Creek' melding organic voices and guitar with restless arpeggios. Nice work.[info sheet from distr.]
