Nice Price Deal !!! Yore proudly adds Detroits Drivetrain to the stable. Drivetrains the nom de plume for Derrick Thompson, a DJ and producer who heads up Soiree Records International, a label with a strong soulful house focus, who has been around since Detroits early days. With over 50 releases on his back, from Beatdown Sessions to numerous Remixes & Collaborations, you can tell that >Drivetrain< has a soft spot in his heart for the rich production values of 70s Philly soul associated with producers such as Gamble & Huff and Thom Bell. That kinship comes through loud and clear in the EPs second cut, >The Rain<, when Thompson sweetens the tunes brisk rhythms with triangle, electric piano, alto sax, flute, acoustic bass and a gravelly >Make love (in the rain)< command that sounds like its oozing from the lips of a tasty DJ. >The Rain< is trumped by the A-sides >Angel (Serenity Mix)<, which opens with a sinuous house thrust and then heats up with a tight, jacking groove that Thompson soulfully embellishes with synthesizer flourishes and a smooth vocal refrain of the songs title. The vibe is lush and soulful in the extreme, with the vocals alternating between a soft murmur and robust declamation while the percolating, dub-inflected house pulse pushes determinedly forward underneath. The EP ends with the title track, >Tragedy Park<, which is closer in spirit to a stomping techno Raver thats had a smidgen of acid thrown in for extra flavour. Definitely a floor shaking Bomb
