AES Dana “shucks it down to the cob” (an American phrase) on this one as he bridges the gap between downtempo, IDM & Techno.
‘Leylines‘ infuses pulsing beats, targeted rhythms and mesmerizing atmospheres.
I’ve worked out to this twice, now, and became lost in the overall environment as I churned out push-ups, pull-ups, curls, squats & ab-work
(in the torture chamber known affectionately as my basement gym).
Vincent opens wide the sonic doors & paints an ethereal canvas, which lingers within the listener’s aural processing as the beats play, repeat and unfold. Breaks of melodic sounds infuse themselves into the tactile arras then, like your heart’s left ventricle, picks up freshened beats and pumps them back into the audio stream . . .continuing the neural-sensory journey. Very nicely executed.
Onward!
