We've been waiting rather impatiently for the Field's full-length to arrive, and it's totally surpassed our expectations! The psychedelic textures running through this Pop Ambient artist's music recalls Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project, only these tracks have a clubbier vibe, with melodies that are a little more upfront. Thoroughly engaging from beginning to end, you'll want to add this to your playlist.

Pop Ambient meets Wolfgang Voigt's Gas plus a slight dancefloor feel equals the Field. That's all that needs to be said, really. To elaborate more on the "dancefloor" part: Imagine the ideal combination of M. Mayer covering Gas and you'll get a sense of what I mean -- soft, pulsing and vibrating. After repeated listens I was reminded in particular of M. Mayer's remix of Donna Regina's "Star Ferry" or even Jackson's killer M83 remix -- that same psychedelic pop feel translated into a dance track is thoroughly explored here.

Maybe that sounds like a one-trick album to you; don't worry, it's not. Within the first three tracks, From Here We Go Sublime manages to hit the "dancefloor Gas" comparison in three different ways: 1.) Straight-ahead 2.) With a Nightshift-esque ode to Lionel Richie that'll catch you by surprise 3.) With more of a softly pummeling beat. The variety doesn't stop there and neither does the quality of the album. This is one that possesses the rare quality of listenability from beginning to end plus a high amount of tracks that you'll wanna add to your set. Recommended. [SM] (April 5, 2007)
