Various Artists – Analogy 3
CD, Groove Unlimited, 2007

This is the third volume of the “Analogy”-series, which started about three years ago as sort of “fun project” on EMForum.
Since the first album, it appeared there were far enough enthusiastic contributors from all over the globe who were more than willing or daring to find out if they could come up with a mature composition made with only real analogue instruments.

Well, I can tell you this third installment has become another great release, containing a collection of 17 uninterrupted tracks presenting a wide range of retro soundings from the old days of EM.

Things are nicely kicked off with a vintage track by Gert Emmens and James Clent, before things move into some great atmospheric soundings of Create or the dripping, dense textures of Stephen Parsick.

Gert Blokzijl’s composition “Monopology” brings the old Schulze-days in mind, while Synth.NL’s “Synthology” is a warm drifting piece with nice textures and solo-voice before a Jarre-like sound steps forward in “Solina” by Erwin Hofstede.

The other tracks on the album continue in the same high level of inspired sounding music, which were all mastered and perfectly merged by Ron Boots (who also very nicely closes the album with the warm, embracing “Analowho”.

Let here be no doubt “Analogy 3” is another must-have for any electronic music fan!
