Rome Fortune - Jerome Raheem Fortune - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Great dance music albums - albums that sound as good on headphones and home speakers as they do on club soundsystems - aren't easily made. In a form whose primary aims have been to move dancefloors and to move on, full lengths that thrill the head, heart and the feet with equal power are few and far between. We believe Romare has made one. With the gripping shock of the new that announces the best records of the genre - from Entroducing through Blue Lines to Ambient Classics - Romare has both a singular style, and great deal to say with it. Projections comes off like Voodoo Ray reworked by DJ Shadow, it's drumming littered with infectious swing, it's samples illuminating and attention gripping, it's atmosphere pronounced and consistent, and it's riffs and hooks heavy - and unabashedly joyous. The album is a heady mix of homage and fresh approach, a statement from a young artist unafraid to revel in his influences, and confident in his own originality. The songs on Projections are homages to elements of American/African culture in the USA - which Romare studied academically. Taking his name from Romare Bearden, the well-known cut 'n paste artist / collagist, and applying similar techniques to music.

Romare returns with his brand new album HOME. A euphoric and uplifting record with a guarantee to be a favorite on the dancefloor. HOME will be available on 2LP, CD and Digital formats.The of this new record comes after a lifetime of being on the move. Fairhurst spent the majority of his life moving around, and was used to the nomadic lifestyle as his career progressed. Now he has found a place he can call home forever.Incha stealthy floor-fillerInch - Rolling StoneGoneDreamsSunshineThe RiverDeliveranceHighYou SeeHeavenHome

Like many others, Ghostly became enamored with Fort Romeau's idea of Inchslow listening,Inch the concept of enriching relationships with music through careful attention and focus. His patient methods are a central component to the billowy house music on Insides, though this isn't an indulgent album of gratuitous buildups and tiresome breakdowns. Each production is pointed and purposeful, as the artist crafts every second of analog electronics with rich detail, nuance, and refinement.
