Jes - Imagination (Album Version)
Synonymous with the Motorcycle sound, Jes Briden has come into her own since her 2007 album, Disconnect. Holding onto that G&D signature sound, her highly successful single, Imagination, incorporated a club-friendly vibe that resonated on its own as a solid inclusion in her album.
Firing up the release to new levels is Kaskade, the house specialist that recently teamed up with Deadmau5 to release another one of those offbeat one-trick wonders. That aside, Kaskade keeps this one stripped and electrifies the vocals with his minimal plucks and bass lines. It’s a bit conventional and not daring enough, but a flavour tasty enough to shoulder up to the original.
Electro-funk house head Michael Moog offers his high-voltage mash of acoustic-infused sounds in a tight and eclectic package. Very interesting and deserves a clap or two, if not just for the lovely arrangement.
Leaving the most famous ‘till last, Tiesto doesn’t really do much to titillate the ears and merely sticks to the formula, the touch of crafty soundscaping only providing the vaguest of interest. Still, it doesn't stop him from pounding it on his latest In Search of Sunrise tour.
Nothing too fantastic, only does Michael Moog really breathe life back into Imagination, not that it really died in the first place...
Overall: 3/5
Released on Black Hole on the 28th July!
