Pink vinyl. The EP entitled Distant Systems is a musical adventure for a quest for a new home land, a new planet, a new start, It is proper techno; proper melodies , beats and pads for this adventure. Derek is a master at creating thoughtful emotive and simply wonderful techno that fits in so naturally on FireScope Records.
“Artifice 2” 808 drums and lush pads - what a perfect start - a track like this is perfect like this …. But then … the Baseline drops; it embeds itself into what back drop as we wait for what happens next.
“Terrahawk” An otherworldly techno track. The usual elements are here but somehow they convert a story quite different to the norm.
“3 3 8 9” A amazing baseline in this track seems to speak as it conveys must more than just notes, the expression conjures up some strange alien dialect as real emotive strings/pads/beats wrap themselves around it.
“East is East” I don’t know what to write about this track other than it is perfection and I wish I wrote it - Steve R
