Мой любимейший лейбл.Жаль, у них какие-то проблемы сейчас.

Purveyors of European downtempo and mellow house, Mole Listening Pearls present an upgrade of Frankfurt-based producer Geb.el?s debut album. From A Distant Point of View presents an array of moods, from the soulful, bossa-inflected house of Love From The Sun to the downtempo breaks of The Killer and The Chicken. The tracks are carefully mapped out, combining smooth vocals and eccentric vocal samples with organic instrumentation and melodic layers, but relying on neither one to carry a track. There?s no real formula to the production, maintaining a fresh sound throughout. Geb.el proves to be competent at any style he tries out?Blue breathes to a prominent bassline while The Killer And The Chicken throws out a hip hop-esque break with a husky flute meandering in and out. Everything flows with ease until track seven, a stupefying remix of 10cc?s I?m Not In Love. With the other tracks smacking of European style and class, this needless remix is a spanner in the works of an otherwise smooth flow. The beat is adequate but the vocals are uncertain and the track simply begs the question: Why? Other than this, the album is an impressive piece of production, successful in matching moods to beats and effortlessly transitioning between them. Rounding it out is the closing track Moon Over Nightwaves that perfectly captures the twilight peace the title suggests. (Lucy Beer) (electronic, electronica, hip hop, drum n bass, downtempo)
