Gadgets' fans were waiting for it for a long time : here is the new album !! Maybe a little bit disappointing at the first time, "on earth" shows all its magnificence after several listening. Those who wanted some dancefloor bombs will be left wanting more because the more powerful track is the great long-player "Bon Voyage" already published on Gadgets 10. Besides, the album starts with another version of this title, softer and more... atmospheric ! Yes, atmospheric is the adjective which defines best most of the tracks. For sure you will be fascinated by the ambient sounds perfectly combined with groovy rhythm ! Corrado Izzo associated to Tatu Metsätähti on this record is showing a lot of savoir faire with a series of brilliant tracks like : "System Reverse" that remembers the old but sublime album "Advance" by LFO; the captivating "Tripod", "Iskendi", "System Test", "Outer Jazz" that get subtle and effective groove; and of course the fabulous "Sky" also previously released on Gadgets 10 and included here as three various versions. In brief, 13 tracks / 76 minutes of high-quality deep techno to listen carefully at home. Simply excellent. Listen to "on earth" on ELP web site !
