Distant Dreams - Faze Action (Vinyl)

While brothers Simon and Robin Lee have kept themselves busy, both with EPs as Faze Action and numerous offshoot and solo projects, it's been almost 12 years since we last heard a fresh, full-length excursion from the long-serving duo - at least under their most famous moniker. Predictably, 'Distant Dreams' was worth the wait, with the Lee siblings continuing their richly organic approach - think live bass, guitars, strings, keys, flute, and percussion alongside synth sounds and drum machine beats. Musically, it draws on their now well-known influences - warming disco, jazz-funk, and Balearica, with nods to other musical cultures - and delivers eight impeccable tracks that undoubtedly sit amongst their classiest work to date. It's good to have them back.Tracklisting:A1. Distant DreamsA2. Yam SuiteB1. Batanayi (feat. Zeke Manyinka)B2. NeutronomyC1. Journey Through Your MindC2. ApexD1. Radio CityD2. Sungazer
