Release Notes
==========================================================================
"With his Vangelis homage æLove Theme From Blade RunnerÆ firmly
established as a hot favourite in end-of-year polls, SolarstoneÆs next
single excursion sees the Pure Trance guardian dip back into the sonic
riches of his latest album. Moving from æLoveÆ to æLoversÆ, heÆs teamed
up with cult New York-based synth-pop outfit Lemon.
Across its Original versions, æLoversÆ is a knowing glance back by
Solarstone at his formative musical years. Its production and vocals
draw affectionate inspiration from a wide artistic palette, with
Erasure, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music and Joy Division being just some of
its many touchstone influences. Featuring introspective and deeply
personal lyrics & vocals from LemonÆs frontman Roger D. Smith, æLoversÆ
lays and layers them against crisp percussion, atmospheric analogue
synths and brilliantly stagey drum rolls.
Masterfully bridging the decades SolarstoneÆs new Pure Mix versions kick
off æLoversÆ remix collection. Rushing up to meet 2014 club floors,
throughout their intros they utilize high-impact kick-drums, echoing
harmonics and the Pure MixesÆ leitmotif running basslines. Building
potent levels of tension, the vocal affects a controlled burn on the
drop before Solarstone hooks the swirling atmosphere and up-surging
synths back in.
Further in trance virtuoso Giuseppe Ottaviani matches the tone of the
vocal, fusing a wonderfully mood-filled intro to the opening minutes of
his mix. As the remix forms up for the break he introduces shards of
melody before finally allowing his sun-kissed synths to dawn over the
mix.
Tying up the package, longstanding Solarstone compadre Alucard sinks his
teeth into a deeper mix of æLoversÆ. The Canadian producer brews an
early storm through thundery sub-tropical FX and echoed vocal snatches.
Through drifting, caught-on-the-wind melodies, intense acoustic & bass
guitar lines and slo-mo break-beats, he fashions a deep, sophisticated
progressive trancer that sends shivers down the spine."
