Room With A View vinyl

Inspired by the pressing issue of climate change and ecological catastrophe, Rone's latest album grew out of a commission he received from Paris' Theatre du Chatelet to create a live show featuring 20 dancers from the Ballet National de Marseille. Interestingly, he decided to use the show as an excuse to go "back to basics" and create the kind of electronic music he made during the early part of his career. The results are largely impressive, sitting somewhere between synth-wave, IDM, ambient and off-kilter experimentalism. Highlights come thick and fast throughout, from the melodic arpeggio lines and hypnotic grooves of "Nouveau Monde", and the layered haziness of "Room With A View", to the skewed dub techno pulse of "Liminal Space" and the near symphonic bliss of "Babel".
