Artist:	WISP
Title:	The Shimmering Hour
Label:	REPHLEX (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	REPH 195CD

This is the highly-anticipated debut full-length Rephlex release from Niagara Falls, NY-based braindancer Reid Dunn aka Wisp. After a track of his was confused with the mysterious The Tuss back in 2007, Rephlex did some further investigation of the artist known as Wisp, and it just so happened that he had a veritable vault of unreleased gems waiting to see the light of day. Rephlex (and many other fans) believes that Wisp is perhaps the most exciting signing for perhaps a decade. Anyone who went to The Glade festival in the UK in 2008 may have wondered how the first (unbilled) act of the day managed to instantly fill up a marquee -- the answer simply lies within the strength of the vibes in the music. And the hype has just been increasing since then, with Wisp playing to packed houses everywhere he goes and getting nearly 30,000 plays of The Shimmering Hour preview on his Myspace page. You don't have to be into dance music or electronica to dig this album; though if you are, there's definitely a rare treat in store. Quite simply, these are serious tunes for nice people, from and for a variety of situations, inspirations and moods. Driven by an obsession with all things mythological, Wisp has been melding the new and old sounds of beat-driven experimentation and bardic lore to offer up a distinct sound that stands out amidst the barrage of overly complex Futurism that electronic music is so often mired in. These are sweeping, breakneck-speed, fantasy-driven, imaginative and incredibly skilled tracks, influenced by everything from Tangerine Dream to J.R.R. Tolkien. With a healthy appreciation for the original purveyors of the braindance sound, and a love for digital production, Wisp has released numerous free albums online, and currently has a fan-run archive on the net of all his freely-available music. Having joined with the legendary Rephlex label only seems like a logical progression in the short history of this young producer from the isolated city of Niagara Falls. With one foot rooted in myth, and another in music, it is likely that this is only the beginning of the tale of Wisp.
