Glasgow duo Mark Flanagan and Gordon MacDermid produce a sound unlike any other around at the moment but recalling any number of great music from the past. It could be called chillout music with its floating textures, pastoral melodies and shimmering grooves, but that would be doing it an injustice. Anything from the 70s ambient explorations of Bryan Eno and Robert Fripp to early Future Sound Of London can be heard echoing around tracks like ‘Vertical Hold’ and ‘Breaking Into Smile’ but, again, the sound is all their own. The key is the amount of emotion they pour into their music. This gorgeous soul results in something that can only be described as beautiful, which you can’t say much these days.
