Rolling and intense, the track embodies Spatial's love for the floor as well as the absorbed listener, nodding along to the laid-back rhythms on the 2am train home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2 - Indigo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoothing, calming synths create an evocative introduction peppered lightly with cymbals and gentle intrigue, before the Circles break takes center stage with a delightfully constructed and crisply programmed pattern. A spirited breakdown with a subtle trance-like quality ensues before the breaks take over again, all set to a suitably earthy 808 bassline humming away below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAA1 - Empty Universe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeliciously clean and chunky Hot Pants breaks provide a DJ-friendly intro to Empty Universe, a blissful rolling track which sees Aural Imbalance fusing incredible 80's synthwave vibes, rolling deep basslines and micro melodies with that timeless and evocative break - programmed to perfection - culminating in a stunningly atmospheric piece, fresh for the discerning listener - just as we like it at Spatial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2 - Lunar Phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKick back as Aural Imbalance closes the EP in fine form with a leisurely trip to the dark side of the moon. Lunar Phase opens with a short intro featuring sullen tones and light hats before a hypnotic break pattern takes over proceedings, and airy padwork circles above. A meandering melody builds throughout the piece and develops its final form during a luscious breakdown, and through the closing stages of this truly beautiful track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWords by Chris Hayes (Spatial\/Red Mist)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003eA1 Aural Imbalance Alien Lifeform\u003cbr\u003eA2 Aural Imbalance Indigo\u003cbr\u003eB1 Aural Imbalance Empty Universe\u003cbr\u003eB2 Aural Imbalance Lunar Phase\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spatial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46691285663900,"sku":"SPTL047","price":17.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/q_61efc6cf-a840-479d-92a8-58bd26a981b3.jpg?v=1776454335","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/aural-imbalance-unknown-universe-printed-sleeve-colored-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
