专辑简介
Clear your mind and drift into Silicone’s soul…
Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie are back with their new album ‘Staring Into Space’, a stellar composition of deep and emotive music. It has been four years since Silicone Soul conquered the world with their stunning homage to Curtis Mayfield, ‘Right On!’ which truly deserves the ‘classic’ accolade and propelled the boys into the UK top twenty.
Since then they have been working non-stop, from Djing around the world to building up their Darkroom Dubs imprint, remixing and putting together a new studio to develop the Silicone Soul sound. Although they list punk and rock n' roll as their early influences, bands such as The Stooges, MC5, Hendrix, The Stones, The Clash and Glasgow's own Primal Scream, they were converted to the house sound of Glasgow by Slam in the early Nineties and since their early releases on Soma they have been refining their unique deep groove. Debut album ‘A Soul Thing’ was a lauded by critics upon its release in March 2000 and established Silicone Soul as one of Soma’s most prominent and popular acts. Now with ‘Staring Into Space’ they have taken their music to a new dimension and have incorporated live instrumentation and vocals, with outstanding performances from Chippy (Guitar), Tom MacNiven (Trumpet) and Brian Molley (Sax).
Fans of the Silicone Soul sound will not be disappointed. Their trademark liquid house, tight beats are here in abundance, fused with a marvellous musicality and substance that prevails throughout. Hypnotic, dubbed out grooves like ‘Folie A Deux’, ‘Inferno’ and ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ are reminiscent of vintage Silicone Soul tracks, brimming with lush textures, echo and space. ‘When The Devil Drives’, ‘Room 666 At The Deadly Hotel’ and the post - apocalyptic ‘Burning Sands’ are psychedelic expeditions into space-jazz, and the delicious ‘You Can’t Lose What You Never Had’ is a down-tempo highlight, a moving and emotive song featuring soulful vocals from Soma labelmate Hope Grant aka Envoy.
This is a genuinely remarkable album from two of dance music’s brightest stars.
