Follow on Google News | AMR Release: “Flying Feeling”Matthew Wieck Takes You To the Heavens - Hayward, CA, USA - Altered Moods Recordings has had a penchant for finding emotional music in the most obscure of places.
By: Debra A. Jones-Davis, Altered Moods Recordings Mr. Wieck lives and breathes the deepness, and his brand of music fits hand-in-glove with AMR’s mission of delivering ethereal melody with every release. The fact that he isn’t well known – either in Chicago or the rest of the world – was also very appealing. We’ve always felt that lesser-known names have more potential of delivering a big impact, and Mr. Wieck delivers in spades. His first cut, “Flying Feeling,” is a testament to that. It starts off brash and sassy, with sinewy, edgy synths backed by lush pads that make you rise up. Another, larger synth lead swoops in and takes you higher, and then the drums join up for some crunchy, tracky goodness. In probably the most DJ-friendly cut of the release, Mr. Wieck brings it to a close with a long percussive solo, perfect for mixing out. Those who let it ride get the treat of a nice ambient finish. “Hydroacoustics” “Worlds Beyond” does have an intro and a build-up. Mr. Wieck demonstrates his drum work again at the outset, and then brings it up a notch with a swoop into a key riff solo. Not content to stop there, he brings out the big guns: an acid bass line that’s been hiding in the first two thirds of the track leaps out front and center in this last stanza, darting back and forth through dark, foggy pads as the track crescendos into a climax where all percussion halts and you really are at the top of the world. That’s when AMR director Malcolm Moore sweeps in and picks you up, “Cleared Direct” to a destination of ultimate lushness. Mr. Moore rises to the challenge Mr. Wieck has set, sidling up with lush, floaty pads, an organ reprising a drum role, and a sampled voice from Deepness Traffic Control telling you where you are and where you need to be. “Flying Feeling” (Catalog No. AMR-30R) will have a limited vinyl release on or around March 5, 2012. There will also be a digital release (Catalog No. AMR-30M) a short while after the vinyl release. # # # A deephouse, techno and ambient label conceived and launched in 2004 by Malcolm Moore (2). It features up-and-coming talent, with a few well-established artists thrown in for good measure. The label is based in Hayward (SF Bay Area), CA. End
