. Luomo: vocal city cd (Force Tracks) Press writeup: Luomo marks the return of one of Scandinavia's most talented and prolific= musicians, Vladislav Delay. For those familiar with this critically= acclaimed artist, he makes a dramatic transformation compared to his= previous achievements most notably released on Mille Plateaux and Chain= Reaction. But perhaps this is not so mus the case? "Vocal City" is an epic= that follows the dynamic music released by such labesl as Playhouse and= Ladomat 2000, craftfully adding unique composition skills he so exemplifies= as Vladislav Delay. Luomo captivates a whole new essence to house music as= we know it. The tracks are outstretched masterpieces that reveal themselves= in song-like majesty. His deep affection for dub thant infiltrates all his= music, once again gloriously mingles with passionate house groove in a= manner that has not been so astounding since Basic Channel. By bringing in= vocalists from his past days as a jazz musician, they create a soulful fire= and warmth that interweaves with the music (rather than over it) that will= dare to integrate with the present day clubs such as NYC's Body & Soul.= Whether it is to be heard in clubs, the fashion runways or in the living= room, "Vocal City" is the perfect antidote. Lance summary: Six tracks (four previously released on the two Luomo 12"s on Force Tracks)= of soulful deep house/tech-house with sparing use of vocals. Right up there= with recent releases by Isolee, Mathias Schaffhauser, and Markus Nikoli.= Sexy stuff and a significant departure from other Vladislav Delay outings. Release infos: .
