Sold out, repress available May/2017. Maceo Plex, aka Eric Estornel, presents Journey To Solar on Ellum Audio. Opening this essential release is "Hang 106", a forceful seven minutes of eerie and cosmic techno that stretches out in all directions as manic melodies rain down from above. "Traktion" is full of ominous drones, crashing percussion and somber pads and makes for a dramatic and driving track that is filled with pain. "Love On Time" picks up the pace with twisted synths roaming free above a motorik kick and icy hi-hats. Following is the slow and spaced-out groove of "The Replicant V1", with fat synths and dark spacecraft sounds circling you as the drums grow ever bigger. "Shoulder Of Orion" then drops into a rickety groove with soulful pads stretching off to the horizon as rough drums march below. "The Replicant V2" is a spacey and dramatic techno effort with widescreen pads and gurgling synths making for a turbulent ride. Proving he has real range, "Motor Rotor" is a deep and driving track that conveys a real sense of motion as it races along an intergalactic highway.
