│ : : │
│ │
│ Regular as clockwork, from 2007 to æ10, Mr SamÆs æOpusÆ compilations │
│ swiftly became part of electronic musicÆs fabric. When it came to │
│ musical trend, they established his reputation as that of setter rather │
│ than follower, tracking perhaps five or more years ahead of their time. │
│ │
│ In the second decade of the new millennium, Mr SamÆs largely set DJing │
│ to one side, focusing instead on other passions, music production and │
│ graphic design amongst them. The four releases (or æOpusÆ, æSecundoÆ, │
│ æTertioÆ and æQuartoÆ as they were known) seemed destined to remain a │
│ rampart for those prepared to look beyond the musical horizon of the │
│ time. │
│ That is all untilà well, you guessed it... Ten plus years after │
│ æQuartoÆ, Mr. Sam returns this June with his fifth æOpusÆ (Quinto, │
│ naturally). Along with it comes another two hundred and forty minutes │
│ of mind-expanding music, sounds and experiences that again promise to │
│ resonate deeper and live longer. │
│ │
│ So eclectic is its selection, that SamÆs series arguably owes no │
│ musical debt at all. If indeed it does though, likely itÆs solely to │
│ Sasha & DigweedÆs æNorthern ExposureÆ series. Mixing music whose focus │
│ is on atmosphere-generating sounds & effects is very much the opening │
│ forte of æOpus 5Æ. Tracks like Alan DixonÆs æRudyÆs SpectorÆ, æGhost In │
│ Me æ from Darla Jade & Nico de Andrea and Wolf StoryÆs æLife BeforeÆ │
│ all have their emphasis on mood, rather than movement. Indeed, itÆs │
│ almost fifteen minutes before Disc 01 develops anything more than a │
│ percussive pulse. When it does, the mix begins to reach down │
│ progressively lit avenues. Included in that are the voodoo-feels of │
│ MigosyÆs æMbambaÆ, TotorayÆs technotic æEverlastingÆ and the │
│ acidicaly-tipped æClavelÆ from Issac. │
