Description
2023, 2×12″ LP, All Good Music.
After his superlative and rather unexpected foray into Afro and Latin fusion with his Sol Set project, John Beltran returns to more familiar territory with a rendition of his classic mid-90s album ‘Ten Days of Blue’ recorded at this year’s Dekmantel in Amsterdam. We get a real feel for the whole gig experience, from the sound of murmured anticipation and intro tape to the resolution at the outro and the main meat of the music itself – lively, optimistic, groovy but understated and chilled at the same time – sits somewhere between his ambient and harder techno work. Among Beltran’s very finest output.
