Daniel Avery - Drone Logic
Now this is one of those records that I know absolutely nothing about. Obviously Daniel Avery's music has come to my attention over the years and I confess I found it “interesting” but, as I'm not a techno aficionado, I didn't really tune into it as it were. This album came my way as a result of my DJ'ing a bit more of late and I tuned into it then. It's such a simple concept, he's not really doing anything new, maybe a new sound here and there but that's dance music. He does it so damn well and I find myself listening to this album now without my DJ hat on at home and it's seriously grown into a good buddy. I look forward now to revisiting Mr Avery's back catalogue in some of my rare leisure moments.
