 ‘Bullet’, the first album from the Trafik duet which was released in 2004, was undoubtedly an exceptional record. Their music, then intelligently and ambitiously constructed, balanced somewhere between dark breakbeat and calming ambient electronica and could not be easily categorized as “dance”. However, things are a bit different nowadays. Their second piece, ‘Club Trafikana’, suggests the contents will be more dancey with the title itself. The gentlemen Archer and Elliot have moved in the same direction as Hybrid did last year, namely, to expose their music to a wider audience. Although Hybrid’s numbers retained some of their aggressive nature despite efforts to make them more melodic, the same can’t be said for Trafik’s latest record, on which you won’t find any whatsoever. Instead, there are references, at times far too distinct, to the creative output of Way Out West (‘Thought Line’), the aforementioned Hybrid (‘Neoteric Suite’) and the rather shallow stylistics of electro house (‘Salt in NYC’, ‘Le Beeatch’). All this makes me go through the album without really being impressed, despite the fact that in general it sounds good in every respect production-wise. The release also includes a second CD of remixes.  Comments[0]
