// Gregor Tresher - Lights From The Inside (Break New Soil) Full Album. release 06/06/11 //
With his latest opus Lights from the Inside, German stalwart Gregor Tresher continues todefine the sound for contemporary electronic music. With nearly two decades of service at the apex of the techno roster and a portfolio of releases on top labels such as Cocoon, Moon Harbour and Ovum, Tresher returns to the fold with his much-anticipated third studio album.
Gregor Tresher - Lights From The Inside (Break New Soil) by gregortresher Lights from the Inside encapsulates Tresher’s flare for breaking the mould and crossing musical boundaries, infusing elements of techno, house, electro and IDM.
The entire LP exuberates elegance. A sleek style of stripped down techno that glides effortlessly between down-tempo dulcet tones and dance floor groove. Just when you think Tresher has taken you into the deepest darkest corner with the metallic clinks and industrial thuds of If Only, a break in the clouds begins to reveal a ray of delicate melodic resonance with the glistening chimes and oscillating synths of Through the Shadow Glass. Layers of slow building melodies are set onto a backdrop of throbbing bass lines that cascade between the crisp punch of Frontline and the distorted shimmer of Echelon.
Featuring the infectious pounding bass lines and mystic hooks of the up-tempo As Days Go By together with the warped-out harmonies of slower numbers such as title track, Lights from the Inside, each track shows a different side to Gregor’s musical personality. Tresher places special emphasis on creating an album, not of disjointed peak timers, but instead a combination of many musical layers and segments bound together by a natural order and glossed off with man-made precision.
This long awaited artist album is an aural pleasure, and the long-time Frankfurt DJ continues to reign high and mighty among the upper echelons of techno’s most creative. Set for release on Break New Soil on June 6th, Gregor’s very own imprint, Lights from the Inside will ignite your senses and illuminate your soul.
Currently on his world tour, and having already smashed out sets from Berlin’s Berghain to Miami’s Ovum, Gregor Tresher will continue to leave his mark on some of the world’s top clubs this year. Gracing Welcome to The Future festival in August as well as a handful of dates in the US over the summer and a tour of Australia in October, the next few months look to be prosperous ones both inside and out of the studio. With much to look forward to, and the promise of some LIVE performances, keep your ears to the ground because 2011 is going to be an exiting year for Frankfurt’s finest.
