Mighty Force continue to put out top quality releases, a slew of them throughout the year and with no signs of letting up just because it's December and Christmas is coming. The latest is five new tracks from M- Paths, the work of Marcus Farley, an EP called Emotivated. The title track- Emotivated (Assemblage Mix)- is a beauty, rippling melodies, whooshes, synth arpeggios and the voice of JFK, the optimism of the early 60s and the space race as an act of altruism.
On A Mission belches in with a synth bass burp and skippy drums, a change of tone and pace, a robotic voice- darker and tougher. Shapes And Patterns mines the techno seam further, busy hi hats and synths that pan across the mix, rapid fire drums. Soaring In Ambience is true to its title, slowing down and blissing out, clouds of space dust passing by, many, many miles away. The EP closes with Tranquility Bass, drones and Kennedy again, chopped up and distorted, along with Apollo mission control. Eventually slo mo drums come in, that push on like pistons.
Emotivated is at Mighty Force's Bandcamp and well worth your time and money.
In November Mighty Force released the latest album by Virgo (Yasutaka Sato), a twelve track opus called Collision With Chronos. It's an album rides the space waves too, sci fi techno/ electonica, atmospheric synths and crunchy drums. Decadence is the shortest track on it, a sub- three minute interstellar burst of synths, minimal drums, FX and piano and rather lovely- especially when an angelic choir emerges through the skies.
The whole album is recommended, as ever with Mighty Force, and you can find it here.
