Greg Fenton review Melchior Productions Ltd – The Thomas Stieler Edits – MY KING IS LIGHT
This series of edits by Thomas Stieler are driven by a force of nature. Opening with the Spiritual Ways Edit of In The Spirit the primacy of the pounding drums is the thing commanding the landscape at first, then as the track evolves center stage is given over to a warm analogue amalgamation of beautiful, whispered vocals, melodic bass, swirling pads, and an air of serenity. Despite the sheer force of the beats, this is as much about subtlety as anything else but either way, it works wonderfully. Followed by a brisker New Attempt Edit of Fighter, an organ-punctuated version It’s Coming for peak time relief. Then returning to deeper waters with the sensual waves of The Call and its appropriately titled Sunshine Edit again featuring delicious tom-toms. Completing the release is the dancefloor-orientated U Promised though I have to say, for me, it’s the deeper takes that feel so outstanding.
