After the recent 7" for Elefant records, and remix of
Seafeel on the Warp 10 year compilation, isan return with
a fresh album on new Berlin label, Morr Music.
isan's sound is hard to describe, at some points on this
album they sound like Vangelis (in fact the last tracks has
some very 'Chariots of fire' moments), on others they have
crunchy fractured beats in the mix, but this album has the
unmistakable isan analog melodies running through every
track.
isan's greatest moment for me came on the Betty's Lament 7"
for Bad Jazz, I think this album has some moments like that.
This is isan's most accomplished piece to date.
