Leng Vinyl & CDs

Review: A typically sumptuous ten inch presented by the Leng crew, serving as the first of several vinyl shaped addendums to the label's recently released double CD of remixes of tracks from Out Of Town, the rather fine album from Phil Mison under his Cantoma moniker. Such was the standard of remixers involved, it's a good thing Leng will be releasing several more of these samplers to appease the vinyl-only crew. The inaugural ten sees Max Essa do his thang to "North Shore" on the A Side, all finely judged contemporary disco rhythms and deep layers of instrumental warmth. It's complemented by a delightful revision of "Dix Vertes" by Coleen "Cosmodelica" Murphy which presents the track as blissful Balearic dub reggae.

Review: Baz Bradley and A Girl Called Kate team up to make Orbs Of Light, cementing their decades-long collaborative synergy with a slice of contemporary Balearic beat. 'Billion Days' hears Kate loll through a resolute vocal line, as its production opens up an ever-expansive beach-bound vista, whether by sequenced steel pans or synths. The 10" also includes remixes by 40 Thieves and Mind Fair, who add their own twists to the original.
