Review:

 

'Receive' (Part II) has an interesting blend of moods with its quaint melodies

and deep beats. The sound quality is as you should expect from this group,

with special emphasis on the rich texture of

drum elements. Quite decent, with a healthy cross-over appeal, though I admit

that the flipside is what I find to be best on this EP. 'Sunset Street'

features rich sound quality, deep bass, and gorgeous melodies composed with

clarity. Tribal percussion and cosmic effects compete for attention, with

significant influences from progressive house. The groove is nearly

irresistable though it takes a powerful sound system to truly enjoy this

morning sound. Nice one for the upcoming festival season.

Son Kite are back with a new 12", which in a way gives us a new Son Kite sound

and feel. Slow, full of emotions, more melodic, very open and with a strong

outdoor feel. If this is a sign for the upcoming third Son Kite album that is

in the works now, than I'm a happy man.

The A side, Receive part 2, is just amazing, the best way to describe it will

be as a blend of Der Dritte Raum's Hail-Bopp and early Union Jack. Mellow,

moving, emotional, really grabs you from the inside and sends your spirit

flying around. So full of music. Excellent. Best Son Kite track in my stereo

for a long time.

The B side, Sunset Street, has more of the familiar Son Kite tribal rhythm, but

topped with penetrating flying melodic lines and a mellow yet optimistic feel.

Later the story develops into a happy ecstatic tribal explosion. I must say if

feel more as a Sunrise Field than a Sunset Street to me.

 

Bottom Line: So much music. So much feel. Just beautiful. Two amazing track, no

B side here really. Own it. Now.
