Feeling notably funkier from the label is this great production from the joint enterprise of Horatio & Gruia. Featuring three equally hard-hitting tracks, but beginning with the title track ‘Cradle In The Wind’ and its waves of expressive Eastern melodies amid unrelenting drums and moody effects this appears in two versions with only a subtle difference between them. Although, either way this proves to be striking, impressive music. My favourite, ‘Caravan’ is next with its funkier shuffle and again excellent use of reverberated effects causing a big sensation. While final track, ‘Ritual’ ends on tougher more commanding rhythms accompanied by punchy Organ and hooky synths.
