This new method record labels have adopted of suddenly releasing singles and albums has its benefits but it makes planning monthly record spending very difficult. You think you're sorted and have budgeted for what you want and then without warning Phantasy send you an email saying they've just put out a Gabe Gurnsey 12", following up last month's superb Ultra Clear Sound. The new track, Eyes Over, is another summer monster, sweaty night club vibes, warm synth sounds and what the press release calls 'proto-Hacienda grooves'. The vocal is an insistent little earworm too. This is the radio edit....
And the flipside of the 12" single has an extended dub mix, separating the different elements out with some very mid-to-late 80s Chicago sounds going on, drawn out over seven increasingly intense bass-led minutes, the temperature rising as it unfolds.

The radio edit didn't draw me in to be honest, but the Extended Dub? Now you're talking!
The radio edit feels a bit like everything's been crammed in to 3.36 but I really like it.
Wonderful mag cover. The Scuola Radio Elettra (Electronic Radio School), which published it, was a kind of mail-driven private technical school nobody in their right mind would actually attend.
