Logistics - Falling

Disclaimer: I'm completely incapable of saying anything negative about any of Logistics' music, so you can pretty much disregard this post as pointless.

Massive tune from Matt Gresham. Apparently this one was a bonus for people buying the digital release of Fear Not, rather than the CD, so I hadn't actually heard it until yesterday. Now I'm gonna have to buy the bloody download version too. Ah well, one for the car, one for the phone. No worries.

As for the rest of Fear Not? Well, it's certainly broader than both Reality Checkpoint and Crash Bang Wallop, but for me that has always been Logistics' appeal; Big stupid dancefloor liquid slotted right next to dark 'n' moody rollers. It definitely fits in a lot more with Hospital's late '00s catalogue than their current output, although Logistics does seem to be keeping one eye on the Annie Mac crowd (and who can blame him?).

Anyway, 2999 (Where Ever You Go) does the wobbly dubstep thing just right by tempering it with enough D&B to keep things interesting and ensuring that people can actually dance to the thing. Is anyone else reminded of The Humans Are Dead by the robo-voiceover?

We Are One sets off on a housey-liquid rave offensive that actually works really well (much like Raygun on CBW) and really just proves that Logistics can turn his hand to anything. Having said that, the much stronger Nu:Logic remix puts things right back into D&B territory with some insane amen business and is also much more fun.

Tucked away towards the end, Destination Unknown is an interesting diversion that takes the album down a Bonobo-esque path and, although the track never really goes anywhere, it does add a nice bit of variation between Over And Out and Watching The World Go By.

There's plenty of more traditional Logistics business on Fear Not, with tracks like Timelapse, Running Late, Over And Out and Letting Go, but without a doubt the strongest track has to be Sendai Song. It's beautiful, atmospheric and rolling with echoes of Repetition and City Life. This really is Logistics at his best.

All in all, Fear Not is a great album, and whilst some people might knock it because it covers a range of musical styles rather than just being strictly D&B, these people should shut up because it's Logistics.
