Artist: Subaqueous
Title: Re:Vision
Label: Self Release
Released: 14th August 2013
Hailing from
Seattle Issac Coltec aka Subaqueous has been making music in his own right
since the summer of 2005 but here he gives the reigns up to a plethora of re-mixer’s
such as Govinda, Heavenly Father and Nossau.
If you are
familiar with his work you will know that his music is very much influenced by
the tribal and indigenous sounds, but saying that his production and overall
results are very much planted in the 21st century.
Re-Visions sees his sound morphed and
interpreted from the opening underwater electronica of Erothymes remix of
'Shimmers In The Dark' on to more terra firma sounds from Futextures take on
“Shimmers” that incorporates techy dubstep with jazzy minimal D&B (of a
Roni Size vibe) to the pure dub of 'Shortmanbs remix of 'Devotion Afloat'
My personal fave on this release is the
lush 'Bless The A.M' remix of 'Visions Embrace' brimming with beautiful
melodies and swirling warm thermals with vibrato synths.
This album spans so many genres but at the same time
holds it all together successfully and with a roster of accomplished producers
on remix duties the final result is varied but never out of place.
