Congratulations to those at Delsin for their new compilation, ..going thru life, which finally hit the shops here yesterday and has been revolving on my cd platter ever since. (What a relief when it finally appeared, I have been looking out for it every day for weeks). What a sublime compilation! Beautiful, warm and soulful, with strong detroit sensibilities and the most wonderful sense of nostalgia. stephen@twoplayer sums it up far better than I can in the liner notes: for me it started with colin dale, every week he'd play music like i'd never heard before...i wanted more so saturday i'd head into London on the train... beggars banquet, reckless, fatcat etc - that's where i'd buy the records, every 12" abstract and full of soul, funk and emotion... red planet, transmat, b12, likemind, fragile, a.r.t, rephlex, underground resistance... off home clutching the records, talking music with friends, dying to get them on the turntable... special times.... delsin know what those times were like, you can feel it in their music. always abstract, the past present and future, the soul funk and emotion... special music... Myself, I am almost lost for words. All I can say is I cannot recommend this release highly enough and that I will now do everything I can to lay my hands on the entire Delsin back-catalogue.
