Gaudi and Alex Paterson collaborate on an incandescent new anthem. Soaring synth strings and percussion move from stately stomp as sounds soar. Mind the Gap takes a tune and teaches it evolution. As each passage charms, we move with it. Their electric dream frees an ocean across dream and dancefloor. Electronica skips as 4 to the floor stamps beside it, as this dub like drama slowly unfolds for the ear, as these Marree Men mix their hidden hearts within music aimed for the soul to start aching while bodies begin their climb and dance swaying, as beats come to claim them and we learn to commune as we hear. With tones from new times and echoes of Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer, Mind the Gap bridges Disco, Club, Street and Bar, as the themes escalate and the electronica shimmers and we move along, stately, guided in thought, sans vocals, with a semblance perhaps of song’s star. Like Hancock’s Chameleon the style shifts. Its made for a new urban ghetto. The synth theme soars and rises, looking down on street shade. As the insistent beat urges us to rise with it and the echo of skittish but charming percussion colours the air as it fades. Gaudi and Alex Paterson have combined to mix and make dance floor dreamscapes. This yellow Flexi disc vinyl is a magic carpet ride through their sound, which sees these two masters combine to make this concise star-stung anthem. Listen. Ascend. Move your body and watch as your feet leave the ground.
