A GUY CALLED GERALD
untitled
white label

Reputed to be a remix of "Finley's Rainbow" by 4 Hero, this is a beautiful fusion of old school drum programming, ultra-deep sub-bass and wonderfully harmonious analogue chord progressions. Already being hammered by Colin Dale and Fabio alike, this can only help bring the techno and jungle worlds that little bit closer. It's also proof that "pure techno" and "intelligent jungle" are really just two sides of the same futuristic dancefloor coin. 4.5 / 5

A GUY CALLED GERALD Finley's Rainbow
(Juicebox)

REISSUE NOTABLE mainly tor two new 4 Hero mixes - one smooth and Detroity, the other junglist but leftfield digitalis. The original is as smoothly rich as ever, but the world will be able to live without the instrumental mix.

A Guy Called Gerald
«Finley's Rainbow»
(Juicy box/Melodie)

Un premier extrait tout en douceur du dernier album d'A Guy Called Gerald, pionnier de la house à Manchester et reconverti depuis peu dans la jungle métaphysique (se reporter à l'interview dans ce numéro). Ce merveilleux arc en ciel ne doit d'ailleurs pas vous dispenser d'acheter le LP «Black Science Technology», dont on continue à penser le plus grand bien. L'intérêt du single tient dans les vocaux haut perchés et triturés du petit frère de Gerald et dans les 2 mix complémentaires de 4 Hero. Mark Mac et Dego ajoute ici profondeur et chaleur au titre déjà très mélancolique. La rythmique s'efface agréablement devant un clavier deep emprunté à Ludovic «Nuage» Navarre. Ce qui rend le morceaux presque slow. Si je n'avais pas peur de faire ringard je dirais même que c'est la chanson de l'été. Mais ceux qui n'ont jamais contemplés à deux un arc en ciel en plein summer of love ne pourraient pas comprendre.

An instant summer anthem: get out of bed to this and the day is already made.

A GUY CALLED GERALD
Finlay's Rainbow
Juice Box

One of the most optimistic tracks around at the moment, the singer unleashes a wave of lyricism which hovers above the slurred synths and the shunting percussion. The remixes are by 4 Hero and Gerald himself.
