Quivver - Controlled Substance [BozBoz Recordings]

13:03 - August 2, 2006

by Ian

Few people in the industry command the respect that John Graham does. With a score of high profile hits under his belt, he has always managed to keep a fresh sound and innovate as necessary. Find out how his latest offering fares here!

Immediately noticable is the small number of tracks on the album. Unlike many people who try to unleash as many tracks as possible during a CD, John has taken a minimal approach, which aids the flow throughout.

The transitions are exactly what you'd expect from a man who seems to exude class, seamlessly transporting us forwards. From a silky smooth intro the tone is set, with Dub Electric bringing us a pulsating breaks tune, with a male voice sample, accompanied by some good acid and ambience. Seamlessly Cruising is upon us, so smooth infact I have to check the track number on my cd player to make sure I'm actually on track 3! Moving forwards we're onto John's first personal offering on the album, his remix of One Thing which is structured well, giving us a melodic breakdown with a soft instrumental period. Closing your eyes you could easily be on one of the world's best beaches.

The next eleven and a half minutes are taken by two seperate mixes of one of John's new tunes, Not Givin Up starting with the Dried out mix and following this is the Dirty Dub. The Dried Out Mix contains a minimal vocal sample, only three words, but repeated often enough to stick out in the upper reaches of your mind. The Dirty Dub is pretty Awesome, with a nice collection of vocals and melody. As some guy named Pete Tong said however, We Continue, with a journey in a Shangai Taxi which whilst lasting under six minutes, probably costs a fair bit. However we disembark on our city ride and are onto Colour Me Blind, a remix from Phatjack of the highly popular Beckers.

As we approach the final third of the mix, we have the vocal offering You don't have to cry which along with a short stabby lead, follows nicely from the previous track. The most noticable mix of the whole album comes here, not because of it not being spot on, but simply because it's a little bit quicker than some of the previous ones, but it has the desired effect as we dive into the harmonious blend of sounds used for Genesis which is a delightful slab of progressive music. Moving towards the end, is the funky Digital Music which brilliantly leads us to the final track Necromancer a follow-up to the hugely popular Gyromancer Solid in structure, this makes a fitting ending to the cd.

Conclusion:
The overall flow of the cd is great, especially as John's intention was to condense a 3 hour set into a cd of just over 60 minutes. Rather than releasing 3 or 4 albums, he has bided his time, and brought us a good mix here. The only slight downside, and it's being pedantic, is that it's maybe a little bit on the short side, could've used maybe one more track to take us towards 70 minutes, but that cannot detract from a very strong offering here.
