The Realm "Lost In Space (Madoka Remixes)"Out Now on 3Beat Music LtdThe Realm is from the same duo who brought us such classics as Chakra´s ´I Am´ and Lustral´s ´Everytime´. Steve Jones and Ricky Simmonds have etched a name for themselves with these timeless classics as well as productions under a slew of other aliases including Oxygen, Force Majeure and The Space Brothers. Following on from the Oakenfold supported ´This Is Not A Breakdown´ which was featured on the film Swordfish, the duo return with the follow up, ´Lost In Space´ which has been given this superb set of underground remixes by Mark Venerri, better known to most of us as the melodic house and progressive trance master, Madoka.
A deep intro leads us into tight rolling bassline on the ´Private Remix´ synth arrays punctuating the groove creating a slightly tense mood for the gravely vocal to add some emotion to the track, powerful lyrics locking in to the soundscape and pushing the pace forward nicely, fading to a dreamy ambient break before the crisp snare rolls swirl within the bass as the track fades to mute. Another notch in Madoka´s cap, showcasing his versatility as a producer and why he has become one of the hottest up and coming talents in the scene.
The ´Private Dub´ strips down the use of the vocal, allowing the deep sounds to be highlighted by some subtle layered effects giving a very atmospheric feel to the track, and for those who frowned on the slightly commerical-esque vocal, what you now have here is a perfect mood builder for the peak time, ready to launch into the bright lights of the night.
After a dip in form with the last few releases, 3Beat deliver a corker, a safe money bet in the form of some Madoka remixes paying off no end. Let´s hope they can capatilise on this and move onwards and upwards. | Digg, Del.icio.us, Technorati, Blinklist, Furl, reddit Artist: The RealmTitle: Lost In Space (Madoka Remixes) Label: 3Beat Music Ltd By: Simon Jones | 21 October 2002 Tracklist:
