To me this is very good atmospheric deep house/broken beat which sounds very British. Reminds me a lot of older House of 909, Prescence, or Weekender. Metro Area has a dirtier NYC feel, with roots in disco and black music from the 70/80's.
who cares, its a great album.
well, yeah, parts of it do.
spaced atmospherics with minimal percussion and interesting melodies is what metro area is all about - and there's loads of that here, though the overall sound is different. more percussion i'd say.
metro area is as much about what they don't include as what they do though, and this isn't quite the same in that way.
lots of strings though and soaring elements to it, in a similar vein to when metro area does that kind of thing, though they don't do that with all their tracks.
i guess its more of a feel i got from it.
plus, being the first day of vacation, i'm feeling very relaxed right now and this music is complementing that.
metro area seems to have a similar effect on me!
