FIRST RECOVERY SUITE REVIEW
Feeling very honoured to have such kind, unprovoked words written about my music, much love to Patrick @ http://cargocollective.com/ouf for my first review:
“So after bumping into Jay, aka COLLATONE, and talking at length about music and gadgets outside the Rabbit one Thursday evening, he sent me his new album, which he tells me he has only just revealed to the wider audience after a lot of work and love.
As i sit here writing this I’m haunted by this dazzling array of pretty much damn perfectly mixed electronic music. Now I’ve studied this shit, and delved into the world of electro-acoustic comp, so I’ve seen the outer boundaries of what can be classed as electronic music… COLLATONE reminds us that we can make coherent beats, digestible melodies, and still go about it with a vast sense of musicality and irrational artistic license. It feels like when you’re fucking starving and you’re presented with little plates of damn fine posh grub, one after the other. The attention to detail and mix are staggering, the drum samples are natural yet retain a great repetition, and He doesn’t seem to be afraid of eclecticism in the slightest. In particular the use of choral work and symphonic ideas. I could listen to this over and over again, and still feel hungry, although not what i’d naturally listen to, i think that you all should widen your minds and arms towards this young Plymouth talent. It’s certainly graced my pluggers.”
