Bunte Kuh fly into 2020 with a stunning selection courtesy of Matija & Richard Elcox, presenting their 'Tall Tales Of Unknown Places' EP. Alongside their three originals come a couple of reworks from Umami and Madmotormiquel & Fulltone.
'Knowing New Horizons' is up first as a downtempo marching hypnotic production with wailing vocals reverberating around twinkling melodies and swelling synth pads.'The Last Mountain' ups the energy with pulsing bass lines and more scattered melodic flurries. The last of the original works 'Road To Kalima' is carried by chugging tunes percussion and metallic hitting snares. The top lines adapt throughout, carrying an eerie sense of tension within them.
Madmotormiquel & Fulltone are the first of the remixers with their take on 'The Last Mountain', softening the mood with mellow hits caked in glorious reverb and a rolling progressive groove. Umami also offers his spin, upping the energy with a strong house groove and dominating synth lines in a fine progressive finale for the collection.
