Synth Pop, Minimal Wave
Montreal's Bernardino Femminielli is one of those artists who seems to slip between easy categorisation, sometimes offering up deep cover grooves for the diggers, or elsewhere indulging in an arch synth pop, minimal wave and other such delights. He's gone as big as it gets on this release for Before I Die, covering the monumental 'Sign Of The Times' by Prince and giving it his own twist with some seriously breathy French vocals. On the flip, Antinote founder IUEKE offers up a subtle remix which takes a light touch and focuses on decorative sonics around the edges of the groove, while Talking Drums take a dubbier approach for their own twist on 'O Signe Des Temps'.
