This winter ‘The Sound of Garuda’ compilation will again define and underline Emery’s musical outlook. On both its ‘2009’ & ‘2010’ discs you will instantly get to grips with the sound combinations that have made both he and Garuda such a breath of fresh. The forward-gazing 2010 disc kicks off with man-of-the-moment Ashley Wallbridge’s sound-scaping ‘Harmonies’ and snakes a 80 minute passage through tunes including Wippenberg’s just-promo’d ‘Pong’, Sander van Doorn’s ‘Ninety’ and Marcel Woods & Artento Divini’s super-banger ‘Inside My Time’. You’ll also find previously locked-up-tight exclusives from Pulser (with the meditative, majestic ‘Broken Universe’) and Slovenia’s finest Beltek churning up a slow-burning transcendental storm on ‘Niagara Falls’.
‘The Sound of Garuda’ though is as much about the year still with us, as it is the one to come. In essence a condensed musical retrospective of what has been the greatest year in Emery’s career; it brings together the top 1% of the tracks he used to build states of sweaty synergism on dancefloors around the planet. In a super-fluid mixed manner Super8 & Tab’s ‘Elektra’, Jorn van Deynhoven’s towering reconfiguration of RAM’s ‘RAMsterdam’, A&B’s Club Mix of Oceanlab’s ‘On A Good Day’, Purple Haze’s ‘Bliksem’ and a dozen tracks more besides all lay down direct challenges to the speakers.
Naturally enough both discs are fueled by a fair measure of Emery’s own production output. ‘Metropolis’ & ‘Exposure’ (the first Garuda singles) are both featured on the album, as is his forthcoming Emma Hewitt vocalled track, ’I Will Be The Same’ and his halcyon, lamenting remould of Oceanlab’s ‘Lonely Girl’.
If advanced trance and progressive is on your agenda for November (and beyond), then its time you checked The Sound of Garuda. The 2XCD is out on 20th November 2009.
