Title:	A Love Moderne
Label:	FORCE TRACKS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	FTS 065CD

After five long years, this is the second album from Swedish producer Erik Möller. Since the mid-nineties he's been spreading his unique form of dub-house/disco on labels like Naked Music, Raum Musik, Sub Static, Punkt Music, Holistic, Eloge, and Facets. The Unai on A Love Moderne is quite different from the man we used to know. The abstract futurism is still there, but somewhere on the way Unai unbuttoned his shirt and let the pop and the disco in, forsaking minimal techno in favor of melancholic diskotroniks. On A Love Moderne Unai sounds like the unknown lovechild of Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant and Basic Channel's Moritz von Oswald (a famous German label even compared his voice to that of '80s star Terence Trent D'Arby!). A Love Moderne is about loving aristocratic pop as much as bunker techno, and that these two elements together make the most beautiful modern love soundtrack. The clash is most obvious on cuts like "Heart Is To The Left," "Youngkiss" and "Blissful Burden," where stripped-to-the-bone electronics meets heartaching pop head on. On top of this you get the cut up future-disco of "Moderne Love" and "Lucky Bastard," not to mention the grand finale of glacial ambient pop that is "Exit Wounds." If there's a wave of techno pop that slowly but surely has been rising in the last few years, Unai and A Love Moderne is truly the crest of it.

Title:	Digital Disco 3
Label:	FORCE TRACKS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	FTS 070CD

It's been a long three years since Force Tracks released Volume 2 of the critically-acclaimed Digital Disco compilation. A reinvention of house music, Digital Disco brings together a combination of sophisticated depth, soul, lyrical narrative, and of course the uplifting energy that disco characterized back to the dance floor. The label group Force Inc, Mille Plateaux & Force Tracks is well known for its stylishness -- whether it's Clicks & Cuts or Digital Disco, all compilations document the music in its postmodern periods. There were always three aspects, which have been important for compilations: to build up a flow of tracks in a series, to show the serial aspect of one track, and to open the mix for other mixes. Digital Disco 3 is mixed by one of Sweden's finest producers, who has just released his new masterpiece A Love Moderne on Force Tracks. Erik Möller aka Unai collected tracks from electrohouse to minimal house and put them together with intensity and smoothness. There are bona fide club-hits such as Ame's "Rej" or Tejada's "Voyager," and the stunning Unai remixes of Trentemöller and Martinez. Erik Möller transforms tracks with a perfect mix. Features mostly exclusive tracks from: Premature Wig, Morgan Page, Voltique, Jussi Pekka, Soultek, 3 Farben House, Crystal Fake, Ame, Unai, Martinez, Trentemöller, Crane Ak, Soultek and Igor O. Vlasov.
