Nocturnal
Symbiosis the 5th
and latest studio
release from Manchester based Charles Massey A.K.A. Perpetual Loop
opens with 'Momentum', a track which contains a hefty proportion of
piano and guitar that you'd also find on the more chilled side of
Digtal Duvets releases, those tracks that conjure up a summery trance
feel. However, here the vital difference is there's more of a spring
in it's step.
The
next few tracks take you on a journey reminiscent of late 90's trance
with deep bass notes, harmonious piano, strings and
flutes set against distorted
gating and lush breakdowns. At this point I have to admit that
although I don't really
listen to much of that music these days, I'm totally enjoying this.
The
rest of the album continues very
much in the same vein, some
might say it's dated, others retro. Whatever
way you look at it there's obviously passion behind
the music here and it's all
good clean summery trance. What's
more it's
free of cheesy pop vocals
and sends my mind down
memory lane to labels like Platipus Records and I ask myself is there
anything wrong in that?
