Review: Serious A - Diagonal Wave (Global Caress)

Star Creatures' Global Caress hits the surf with a deep synth board that rides a 'Diagonal Wave' with a Serious A!  

Following Fugitive Artifact's latest 7" (see review HERE) and Arsene's 12",  'It's A Feeling' (see review HERE), the Chi-Town turns to France to get the waveform where "electronic music and video games collide".

But the result is no explosion and Serious A's "sacred mission [is] to weave together the threads of sound, pixels, and soul into a singular, transcendent formula. For more than 20 years now, the French producer and DJ, has been collecting records (and video games) and developing her own sound to be a bridge between the ancient and the unknown. Her sonic blueprint, a living testament to her journey, echoes the influence of her dearest inspirations from Tokyo, Detroit, and her own city, Paris".

What with the instrumental 'Sogno Blu' and 'Spinto Veloce' it's another example of multi-genre sample create digging that's echoed in the soon to be released Star Creature & Twilite Tone presents 'The Twilite Tone Bundle' (a 3 x 7" release) that takes some mega tracks stripped back to the underground: could these tracks possbiley thread "influences all the way across the sea, from the spaced-out vibes of Eumir Deodato to Tomb Raider 3 water sound effects"?

You might say, it's like a Daedelus meets Ellie Wilson's 'Listen To The River Ching' (see review HERE) with a touch of NYC Peech Boys; this is what happens when you cut the sonic cloth on the diagonal wave
