Evolution of Western dance music over the last 100 years

Big picture 

Classic: Reload - Le Soleil Et La Mer

Reload is Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard aka Global Communication. Le Soleil Et La Mer is a beautiful ambient techno track that appeared on the album A Collection of Short Stories (1993). I can listen to this track all day long. 

Classic: Seefeel - Extract

Seefeel formed during 1992 in London with Mark Clifford on guitar, Mark Van Hoen (Locust) on bass, Justin Fletcher on drums and Sarah Peacock on vocals and guitar. Extract is taken from the album Succour (Warp, 1995). How to describe the music of Seefeel? Something like post-rock dark ambient. I guess.

Review: Biosphere - N-Plants

Norwegian Geir Jensen aka Biosphere seems to have understood that less is not always more. Jensen leaves the arrhythmic minimalism and returns to the sound of early albums like Patashnik and Microgravity: a rhythmic, melodic and almost danceable record, not to forget beautiful Japanese vocal samples. N-Plants is vintage ambient techno, his best record in many many years.

Label: Touch  

Rating: 4,5/5
