     when multi-tasking reaches a level where you can only spend        
     sundays with your musical passion, then you know thereÆs no time   
     to compromise. enrico crivellaro aka volcov and isoul8 is one of   
     those characters who are fighting on various fronts and therefore  
     take their limited time off to twist the knobs in their studio.    
     for the past couple of years he has been running the two highly    
     prolific and influential labels archive and neroli. through this   
     ether he has supported, featured and built artists like theo       
     parrish, domu, nubian mindz and just one among various others who  
     have now gained recognition on a larger scale. his own productions 
     under the volcov moniker and as rima (jcr 039-1) with soul mate    
     domu led him far beyond the borders of the so-called west london   
     broken beat sound. as his influences reach back to early nineties  
     chicago and new york house with a soulful twist you can imagine    
     that there is more to his music than just a complex beat pattern.  
     his musical background has gained him a reputation as a true house 
     marvel that for some has pulled more strings in the back but who   
     is now ready to step out of the shadow into the light.             
                                                                        
     if you are now looking for a cutting edge musical adventure that   
     will blow all boundaries you might have to search somewhere else   
     but if you like your house deep and soulful topped of by some of   
     the best musicians and vocalists around chances are good you are   
     going to fall in love with this album. nowadays it seems that      
     house has become the new chill-out sound whereas slower rhythms    
     filled this gap a couple of years ago. it seems as if things have  
     shifted up a gear but luckily there are currently a number of      
     movements here and there that bring good house music back to the   
     main floor and isoul8 is one of those projects that lead the way   
     there.                                                             
                                                                        
     about four years in the making enrico crivellaro had plenty of     
     time to plan every step and get the musicians involved that he     
     thought are commendable enough to be a part of it. he kicks off    
     with the wonderful voice of former galliano member valerie etienne 
     who has been a substantial of the formation 2 banks of 4 with      
     partner rob gallagher and is currently touring with matthew        
     herbert. the list continues with omnipresent vocalist paul         
     randolph who adds his special extra to clover and on my heart      
     which he dedicates to scott "swaack" head and which has already    
     become a favourite of rainer truby, michael rutten and jazzanova's 
     alex barck. both west london golden tonsil marcus begg and nadirah 
     shakoor with her arrested development background have come a long  
     way and it's always a pleasure to witness their talent. bugz in    
     the attic keyboard wizard kaidi tatham, adds his twisted harmonies 
     to more than just a silent force whereas ongoing collaborator just 
     one as always feels free of all musical conventionalism.
