Tronic Jazz The Berlin Sessions

ジェラルドの新譜が出ますよ〜
以下ブラ〜ブラブラ

From his current base in Berlin, AGCG clears a path to the floor with his follow-up to 2006's 'Proto Acid' sessions. Since that album we've only caught glimpses of Gerald in action on a string of effective but low-key house and techno tracks for Perlon, Beatstreet and Sender, but they were obviously masking what was really going on in the lab. 'Tronik Jazz' is a far deeper affair than those tracky cuts, featuring Hulme's finest stretching out on 13 intuitively fluid, masterfully progressive and deep searching compositions. The Berlin influence inferred by the title relates to the skilled definition of his grooves and their deft constructions, but as it's an AGCG album these tracks are brimming with soul and a proper dancer's sense of style and arrangement with a heavy emphasis on analog sounds. From the aquatic jazz-techno flow of 'People Moover' to the juxtaposition of serene Detroit strings and brittle percussion of 'Just Soul', the piquant percolations of 'Round Eco' and the beautifully playful revision of 808 State's 'Pacific Samba', it's fair to say we've caught our man in brilliantly mature and elegant form. We can't think of many artists from that original '88 skool who still manage to sound fresh and unique nowadays so it's hats off to the man! Recommended!
