The last single to be taken off the sublimely brilliant ‘Staring Into Space’ album consolidates the fact that Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedle are mining a seam of electronic dance music which transcends the boxes of techno and house they have been thrust in and hits the very essence of the music at its core. So ‘Inferno’ rides a tech-house groove whose one-note bass can recall either FGTH’s ‘Relax’ or Daft Punk’s ‘Da Funk’. It’s what they sprinkle on top – a mixture of ethereal keys, some space-dub implosions and dub flavours which work up Silicone Soul’s inimitable magic. Once they’re off, new elements join in and, by the home stretch, you’re not only staring into space but floating about in it, deliriously. The flip sees James Flavour and Break 3000 – aka Dirt Crew – inject electro sequences with voluptuously hypnotic results.
