In the mystical cycles of the sonic universe, every so often Manchester conjures up, seemingly from nowhere, an absolutely mind blowing LP; up there with anyone else the world over. Following in the footsteps of Moodymann’s “Black Mahogany”, Trus’me’s “Working Nights”, Floating Points’ “Shadows” and more recently, Kyle Hall’s “Boat Party” and llum Sphere’s “Ghost’s Of Them And Now”, we have this expansive, full-vision of sound presented by our fair city’s very own Garth Be. I don’t make these comparisons lightly, but it’s rare that something quite so perfect reaches our shop – and it’s with great honour that I write these notes. “Marquis” opens with delightfully radiant pads and glowing licks that wrap around a bouncy, disjointed groove which Kyle Hall would be proud of. “Dreamline” retains that jazzy bounce and bright, optimistic keyboard work; joining the esteemed ranks of Vakula and all the aforementioned cats when it comes to sophisticated organic sound palettes. Then he flips the script. “Don’t Want” is a PERFECTLY constructed MPC jam which should have Andres wetting his pants and Theo scratching his head. So onto the B-side and “Housekeysonbrandy” moves towards a 2AM dancefloor, rolling a tough mechanical train wreck across deep aquatic pads. The perfect pairing of hard edged tension coupled with blissful release. Smoothly inserting another smoky sample from the archives of Afro-American heritage. “Monday Club / Tuesday Nite” is possibly the elevated ‘top ring of the pyramid’, and aptly titled “On and On” – you won’t want this beauty to end. Simple but ridiculously infectious, think “JB’s Edit” on Theo’s SS001 – it really is that good. “GYB3” is the celestial workout you’ve been waiting for, and oh so perfectly timed! It’s like Garth’s some cosmic shaman, guiding us through our trip like a seasoned galactic explorer. In his own words – ‘find your place in the cosmos and unwind your mind!’ I felt like I’d been on a 250mics acid trip by the end of this track. Finally we have the most delectable of outro’s with “Teakayo” – again working the MPC like Shane Warne works the reverse swing. Leaving you desperate for more, BE keeps things painfully tight and succinct, not a single groove on the record is wasted, and at least three of the tracks could well be extended across a whole side of a twelve inch. It’s that Madlib-styled intensity which cuts each track at its very peak, keeping you riding the wave till the very end, with absolutely no room for boredom. Unrivalled.
