Secret Planet, Silver Planet, twelve new artists and the same number of fresh, innovative tracks collected on the debut compilation which has just made its way onto the market. You could have already read about this on Sound Revolt – now it’s time to take a closer look at the first one of a series of limited vinyls promoting the sound of the new British label. So, here we have two pieces that are of unknown authorship and, to be honest, all we know about them is the fact they exist – the rest is a plain mystery. Such an attitude may seem weird, but one has to admit that it lets us concentrate solely on the music, which is simply excellent!
The first couple of seconds assures us that this release is nothing but extraordinary. It starts off with a melancholic melody combined with a sort of dirty, rough percussion, creating a unique atmosphere. But the fun has yet to begin - for nearly nine minutes bolder and bolder sounds alternate with one another in the background, while the whole track is being driven by breaks, building up a masterpiece that can be easily compared to the works of Momu and Digital Witchcraft. Despite the lack of classic build-ups and other fireworks typical to progressive, this track amazes with its complexity, subtle nature and skillful dosage of emotions.
Still, we have the other side to focus on! Even though it’s a bit different concerning the style, it is of the same quality as its predecessor. This time the beginning is pretty standard – simple bassline and spooky samples forecast the advent of a deep, dark track. But everything really takes off in the third minute, with the entry of a rather non-complicated, yet extremely powerful melody, which renders the main motif for a short period of time. However, you don’t really manage to delve into this vibe, as in the blink of an eye it is superseded by… breaks, gently creeping into the whole! Absorbing melody really tops it up, making an epic breakdown, after which the return to a regular four-to-the-floor takes place, followed by a further dancefloor wreckage. One hell of a tune!
Summing up, heartiest congratulations to Secret Planet on both the idea and its implementation are truly deserved – the risk has undoubtedly paid off! Certainly, gifted artists discovered by the new imprint will take us aback many, many more times – for instance in a month, when SP002 is going to be released.
