B. O. Du Film: "Orange Mecanique" (A Clockwork Orange)

It’s spring again, and this uplifting little masterpiece may just be the perfect soundtrack for it: Looks Like You’ve Already Won (MA 64) – the long awaited second album from Boston’s pop duo Ashby, following up their critically acclaimed 2001 debut Power Ballads (“Luxurious, intelligent pop” – Q Magazine).Ashby have expanded their sound quite significantly – with intricate multi-layered arrangements, a shimmering widescreen production and great contributions from an array of guest musicians, incl. Brazilian arranger Zé Luis (Bebel Gilberto, Brazilian Girls). The album’s ten tracks were recorded in Boston, New York City and Los Angeles.Richly layered horn arrangements are a trademark throughout the album courtesy of New York City wunderkind arranger Jeremy Adelman. The atmospheric instrumentation is offset by hard hitting funky drums played by multi-instrumentalist Bill Cowie, one half of the duo. The icing on the cake is Evelyn Pope’s pure, understated and floating voice that somehow manages to sound light and deep at the same time.And Ashby’s greatest signature are, of course, still simply beautiful melodies.Check it out, folks! And you’ve already won…

Space and Awareness is the debut release on Tonight’s Dream Records, a record label and mix series based in Brighton UK, focusing on forward thinking, unique music within the realms of ambient, downtempo and electronica.Space and Awareness is the eighth album from Inhmost, the alias of producer Simon Huxtable. With over 24 years experience Huxtable has released a huge array of music. However, now Huxtable uses Inhmost to serve up deep immersive ambient and downtempo music. Space and Awareness is filled with deep baselines and downtempo breaks that are perfectly balanced with the atmospheric ambient textures making it a thoroughly engaging listen.In the producers words “Space & Awareness was made at a time when I felt particularly conscious and receptive of the space around me and I wanted to create an atmosphere that reflected this organically. A mixed approach of using analogue and digital hardware both in and out of the box along with captured field recordings was used to create a broad and changeable soundscape. I did not want this album to just be purely ambient so the use of downtempo beat structures and rhythms felt like a more appropriate way to convey the variety of emotions that I was feeling at the time.”The album has been mastered by prolific producer and mastering engineer Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio who has worked on albums for artists such as Juliana Barwick, Grouper, Steve Hauschildt, Loscil, Telefon Tel Aviv and Tycho amongst hundreds of others.
