Powel always finds a way to thread natural elegance and tasteful patience in his productions. "Iblard" is sparse; it's aquatic pads draw you into a warm place where discordant melodies swirl across dripping percussion. "The Grand Opening" named after (and also sampling) the Swedish band, adds live instrumentation to the deep house aesthetic with aplomb. "Aburaya" is next in both vocal, and instrumental form - deeply Detroit-ian by design, the uplifting pads and keys made this life-affirming. On "Johannesburg", a sparse beat slowly transforming into a warm vibe with Rhodes-y keys, violins, and male vocal ad libs.
