Serene, opulent ambience, as there is barely a beat in range
on Selected Moments II, as the Shoreless roster steadily
expands to include Fatih Tuter aka Dubatech, Relapxych, Martin
Schulte and Brendon Moeller. Each track here is possibly best
described as a little piece of modern art, whereby the
listener will make of it what they will. For my money, this is
quite simply gorgeous stuff from all concerned, as truly each
artist submits only their best work for this prestigious
compilation. Quantec delivers what I think is his strongest
track to date, as 'Resurface' purrs along ominously, somewhat
darker and more mysterious than previous works, before a
seemingly non-existent bass line springs to life, which is so,
so deep, you need to play this one loud to allow the sound to
totally engulf your headspace û check with intent. Bvdub's
track is very strong too, incredibly melancholy, yet somehow
leaves you feeling quite uplifted in a strange, spiritual kind
of way, after you completely understand the vibe here. Totally
sublime, subquatic ambience from Relapxych, Moeller, Tuter and
Severence wrap-up the long, long delayed release of this
second Shoreless compilation. Has it been worth the wait? You
bet it has! Brutally limited to 110 copies worldwide.
