Kim & Buran - Tramplin

Dynamic St Petersburg producer Kim and Buran are slowly growing into electronic disco veterans, with this, their second long player on Nang and having been on the scene for over 18 years. Latest offering &pays little heed to rigid four-four / dancefloor structures; the album works as a substantial, fifteen track work because of the variety of mood, tone and texture that runs throughout. From the mid tempo, atmosphere-drenched cosmotica of opener &on the Stratosphere&and the drifting, Delia Derbyshire like synths strains and retro melancholia of Forbidden Planet, to the irresistible moog driven funk of Around Pauls, the tight Italo strut of Gala, the shimmering, exultant future disco of the likes of French Train, shifts gears and switches mood throughout. Set closer, the breezy musicality of &our Summer Dress&ends the album with effortless panache. #nangrecords
