Ferry has finally released the follow up to the awesome 'Punk' after almost a years worth of waiting, it finally hits the shelves, including a remix by a member of Tranceaddict.com!!!
A1 - Indigo (Original Mix)
We begin in a familiar Ferry fashion, with a nice kick and easy going bassline, and soon a hi-hat and clap fit into the tune, to bring us nicely towards the first breakdown of a tune that is renowned for being very long winded by clubbers.
Just after a minute or so in, we begin with the nice soft melody, which seems to swirl around your mind, and in my opinion is very relaxing and although some people say it's boring, I think it's nice. Progressing slowly but surely, we'll reach another softish synth which is held on for a couple of bars each time, as we get ready to break into the main part of the track soon.
We lose the kick, and get just the long winded low sounding bass, until the soft sounds filter back into our minds, in a simple but effective melody. It's very cleverly used in my opinion, too many people try and be so complex sometimes and possibly fail by trying to be like such, but this keeps it simple & nice.
We get short snare rolls and we're back into the beat, and the melody restarts again, and the tune is absolutely electric, and in a bedroom on regular decks and sound systems, probably won't do it justice.
The tune ends by progressively losing elements including percussions & other things, until we're left with just the beat & swirly melody from the beginning, and then the beat leaves us as it's ends slowly, and most of us will have mixed out long before getting to this bit.
B1 - Indigo (Passiva Mix)
This remix is done by one of the Dutch Tranceaddicts, and begins with a soft intro, into a slightly harder kick than is used in the original. A very 'Dutch' Percussion is used, with the clap that I really like, reminding me of so many good tunes from the late 90s & early 2000/1 years.
The bass is low and fairly simple, with a nice melody as we move on, which is different to that used in the original, but as such, serves an equally important purpose to move on. The swirly noise comes in once again, in a more electric sounding synth than in the original, and begins to fade as the main tune is about to hit us.
On this occassion, the notes are once again simple, but the sound used being different, adds a new element to this, and since the original has been played for so long now, maybe DJs will choose to play this one instead.
The actual structure isn't very different from the original, but with different synths used to incorporate each bit, it's well worth a listen to this one too, though for some the Original might be too familiar and catchy already, either way, another great showing from up & coming talent, let's hope the guy goes onto bigger & better things, as there are so many good young producers capable of making amazing tunes.
9/10
Conclusion:
All in All, this might not appeal to all fans of Ferry, it is slightly different from what you maybe expect from him, but it is a wonderful piece of work in my opinion, and well worth adding to that huge pile of Tsunami in your collection. To be featured on Ferry's Debut album under his own persona, this is hopefully the 2nd in a great series of works. Good stuff!
