Start To Feel | Cosmic Gate

'Start to Feel's story couldn't begin in a finer place than 'Happyness'. Cooler on tempo, higher on life, it's sun-dipped pianos and rhapsodic melodies fuse feel-great atmosphere into the album's overture. Through it's female vocal troupe, the LP's vision begins to broaden. Founded on faithfully syncopated 80s electro drum patterns & FX, Jaren cuts it soul-deep with 'Try', whilst 'Be Your Sound' heroine Emma Hewitt returns with the torch-song triumph of 'Going Home'. Further in, 'Shine Forever' and 'The Sparks After the Sunset' (costarring Alexander Popov & Jannika and Sarah Lynn respectively) radiate their spirited uplift. An all-powerful atmosphere generator, 'Yai' dark charts the outerreaches of progressive instrumentalism... then voyages further still. Likewise building more dissident characteristics into 'S.T.F.' is the Jerome Isma-Ae co-production 'Telefunken', which pans, echoes and tremors it's square-form sonica, finally introducing a Kraftwerk-ian lead-line. Skilfully flipping the frequency dial, Kristina Antuna supplies mainline spark to 'Alone' - a track whose supremely catchy lyrics and song will be all over the world's airwaves come summertime. Electronic Music bible MIXMAG says 'Start to Feel' is: 'stylistically fearless, panoramic, astonishing and by virtue-of, reaches that hallowed height of perfection.' Start to feel it for yourself from June 27.
