Having already wrapped up three EP’s – ‘#Shelter,’ ‘#Watching’ and ‘#Rhythm_Flow’ respectively – #Noel ties it all together on his debut long-player, ‘#Reborn.’ Combining those previous releases plus four brand new tracks, ‘#Reborn’ is the end product from a producer whose aim was to once again immerse himself in drum & bass, and in #ProgRAM found the perfect home to do so.
As one of four of the album’s exclusives, title track ‘#Reborn’ steps with edgy synths patterns and rippled, arpeggio melodies. ‘#Mist’ teams jazzy basslines with electric guitar riffs and Jungle-esque breakbeat percussion adding a live feel. ‘#Tremor’ is a half time beast drawn out of minimal electro sounds and an ear-catching, pitch-bending vocal snippet. The last of the exclusives, and closing out the album as a whole, ‘#I_Can’ is an atmospheric roller; delicate beats and a lead sound sampled from a dukduk (an Armenian national instrument), plus a perfectly utilised spoken word sample, giving it a real statement of intent. Add these to established favourites like ‘#Cosmic’, ‘#Dont_Leave_Me’ ‘#Watching’ and ‘#Girlfriend’ and you can see and hear why he’s such a good fit on the label.
Being the first ever artist album to be released on #ProgRAM, Noel definitely cements himself in the label’s history. ‘#Reborn’ is a cohesive body of work from the talented Russian – and is proof of what happens when you get with the #ProgRAM.
