Ambulate

Description

After an excellent first release featuring Freerotation lynchpin Steevio, Russ Gabriels Rivers Of Groove label returns with a pair of excursions into lush, bubbling techno from Gabriel on his own. As a first generation UK techno stalwart, its little wonder that he can turn out productions as accomplished as these, but there s no sense that he s treading water. Ambulate bears the hallmarks of modular production, all twinkling, morphing synth tones chiming around a delicate beat, while Dover Calling favours a snappier electro palette, but both stand out from the crowd for the sheer quality in the production, the warmth in the composition and the needlepoint focus given to every shred of detail in this crucial cuts.
