. 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.
