 STYLE Downtempo electronic instrumentals with plently of dub and glitch elements. This latest offering from Bluetech is a further exploration of the chilled, lightly percolating sound that has distinguished the artist from the start. Smooth ambient textures contrast intricate rhythmic structures of layered phrases and mesmerising beats. Interesting effects and peculiar sound sources are scattered throughout, often making up key parts of the melody. The basslines throb and pulse with a familiar bounce, lifting the downbeat tempos, pumping a gentle energy into the mix The melodic aspects have a liquid fluidity and slightly mechanical clarity - busy structures that ripple up and down colourful scales, flicker in glitchy repetition or cycle into hypnotic familiarity before morphing off into fresh form. In short this is trademark Bluetech riding the crest of a wave. MOOD The mood here is mostly one of relaxed wonderment - the harmonies are inviting and warm, the pace relatively tranquil and yet the melodic structures are full of energy, complex detail and interweaving patterns. For the most part this album is a bright affair - crystalline and lucid, even in the more shadowy corners the twinkle and glitter of arpeggios and sequential phrases maintain an interest more in the light than in the darkness. ARTWORK The promo package that I have features a bright, complex graphic montage on the front cover - a sharp human profile embellished with a profusion of curling panels, swirls and leaf forms. The rear holds a tracklist and an explanation of the project. Within, the tone is darker - heavy grey, but again dense with partially submerged imagery. Here is a second tracklist and a lengthy paragraph on the artist providing biographical and recording information. On the opposing panel are brief credits, web and contact details and a portrait of Evan emerging from the gloom of the busy backdrop. OVERALL Coming after a considerable break from the Bluetech project, The Divine Invasion picks up where Sines and Singularities left off - but with added depth, travelling further into the signature sound that identifies Bluetech. This is a good thing, many artists in an attempt to stay fresh begin to change their sound and end up losing what made them unique and appealing to begin with. This is not the case here, The Divine Invasion is certainly fresh - but this is achieved through development rather than abandonment of previous themes and techniques. Once again Aleph-zero is the chosen label - this release surely becoming yet another valued addition to an already well respected catalogue of quality electronica. The album includes a number of collaborative pieces jointly credited to Mirror System (aka System 7) and Eitan Reiter with Bluetech as well as a remix of .an Ace Ventura and Lish track. WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM Bluetech fans will be delighted by this new album as will most Aleph-zero adherents since the music stays true to the ideals of both. If you haven't experienced either yet - this is an album for lovers of lively electronic ambient dance music. - Morpheus Music , posted 05/08/09 |
