The opening melodies of Adam Marshalls >North at Night< can be heard faintly over the whistling wind. A small black dot appears at the centre of the distant horizon. At first it appears to be still, but gradually we recognize movement. Over the next few minutes the shape begins to grow until it has defined the image of a man walking towards us. As he approaches, the music grows clearer. Like the warmth of the first sunlight >Rose Mountain< radiates its glow through the use of a flurry of Rhodes electric piano chords. Adams signature percussion permeates the dub and binds its elements into an infectious groove. >MFB flex< is the counter balance to the organic flow of the other cuts and molts the warmth into a techno roller designed for the long player mix. Marshall said… >Ive long been intrigued by that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga which constitutes the arctic and sub arctic of our country. Ive read about it, written about it and even pulled up my parka once and gone there, yet, like all but a very few Canadians, Ive had no real experience of the North. Ive remained, of necessity, an outsider. And the North has remained for me a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and in the end, avoid<
Anja Schneider: “Played "Rose Mountain" @ Dance Under The Blue Moon, Fritz Radio 102,6 Mhz.”
Davide Squillace: “Support on Flex and Great at Night!”
Efdemin (Dial): “B2 rocks the house!!!”
Mark-Henning: “will play b2 :)”
Nick Höppner ( Mymy ): “ - Thanks a lot for the records. I like adam's epic a-side. Nice!”
Philip Sherburne: “ Before a flickering background of dubby chords—a lone pair, gauzy and wind-blown—Marshall unrolls an absolute tearjerker of a melody. There's nothing fancy about the tune, which reminds me a little of John Tejada at his most melancholic ("The End of It All"): the drum-machine pattern, with the merest smidgen of 2-step swing to it, patters numbly away, and the voicing remains blissfully uncluttered, with a lone, analog-sounding tone sufficing for the lead, bass and internal harmonies alike. The first six minutes are among the saddest six minutes of music you've ever heard, and then, gradually, samba-inspired drums take over, ushering you by the arm to a place beyond reflection, a zone of pure movement. Absolutely gorgeous.”
Richard Carnes (Resident Advis: “All about the A-side ("North At Night") for me on this one. Gorgeous use of melody and progression, moving things up a gear slowly but surely throughout its duration. A mark above most of the electronic productions of today, and one that will be in my crate for quite a while.”
Riyaz Khan - CHRY FM - Toronto: “Rose Mountain is my favourite track of the release as it has a warm, breezy hypnotic house feel to it-the sexy female vocal stabs are a nice touch!; Really liked MFB Flex as well! Its repetitive groove builds slowly into an ass shakin'wallop; NORTH AT NIGHT took me a few listens to fully appreciate its introspective dub fused melodic trajectories ”
