system 7 - sal del mar

was planning to do an entry on system 7's more paceful tracks and from this album both the starter and ender are quite nice but this track comes in my mind every once a while. "seventh wave" as an album was introduced to me by a mate that was into the psychadelic side of trance but liked the sounds of system 7. in general they are an act that i know of and their different phases but i've always been into their heads down trancy sounds.

you certainly hear that "sal del mar" is a system 7 production by the sounds used even if the choice of pace and groove hasn't been that prominent since the earlier days of the act. in general they were quite known for collaborations but this comes from a time when the output consisted of mostly giraudy and hillage on their own.

it's spacious house music that sounds like hiroshi watanabe's dreamy works as kaito through the filters of that early west coast deep house sound from dubtribe soundsystem and the likes. the feeling of entrancing motions is strong even where a really groovy bassline is the dominant force. with a solid base below there is a whole lot going on up top and if isn't hillage's long sweeping guitar sounds that form as pads, it's giruady's keys and synths. lovely track
