label: Planet Strangelove   Cat.No: PLANET001

For the inaugural EP on his new label, Planet Strangelove, Job Jobse breathes new life into a neglected Balearic house gem: "Pasion", an early 90s track by Leeds artist Pianoman, inspired by Tangerine Dream's "Love On A Real Train," featuring the most breathtaking synth harp of all time. Alex Kassian, whose expansive interpretation of Manuel Göttsching's "E2-E4" had already demonstrated his refined touch for the kosmische atmosphere embodied by Tangerine Dream, offers a "Dance Mix" and a "Dream Mix," one with a disco beat, the other floating and light. London duo The Trip, from the Tesselate label and party, deliver a remix that is both airy and pounding, full of wailing divas, sun-kissed pads, and shimmering pianos. As for Pianoman's own remix of "Analysis", it's a dazzling artifact from the Balearic era at its peak, touched by the ineffable essence of its time yet sounding as fresh as its modern reinterpretations.[info sheet from distributor]
