Human thought and emotion: Jason Fine - Future Thought

I received a promo e-mail from Kontra-Music, letting me know of Jason Fine's new, excellent album, Future Thought. And to my suprise it IS excellent, but what really caught my attention was a part in the info text:

"The dance music producer today can, to categorize, be divided into two types. First we have the producer, and this is the majority - who skillfully manipulate sound to satisfy dance floors and clubs. Then there is the musician - a person who transforms human thought and emotion into music. This is the category that best describes Jason. What comes out of his studio is always something very personal and special. The sounds are old school but the outcome is so much Jason’s own, that if feels very fresh and new."

Exactly so! Guess which ones sell better?

From the album, especially "Amplitude Modulation", with it's raw 909-hihat patterns revolving around the eerie strings and neverending-seeming melody line, reminds me of something old and pure, done in a new and fresh way not forgetting emotion transfer. In this song Jason uses ear splitting resonance sweeps in the strings that send chills down one's heart. Simply beautiful. More from Resident Advisor.
