Kompakt announce the return of New York's synth wizard Steve Moore to the label - pretty much exactly ten years after his much lauded first appearance Bayern Kurve on the Speicher series. Steve Moore is widely recognized as one half of Italo disco-tinged horror-prog project Zombi, his numerous thriller movie soundtrack works (The Guest, VFW, Mayhem, Bliss, The Mind's Eye) as well has his clubbier output on Ron Morelli's L.I.E.S. imprint. The title track of this four-track EP, Frame Dragging sees Moore in full spine-tingling mode. In case you've ever stepped into a hot bath on a cold day (in case you haven't you should try it) you should be well familiar with the phenomenon of being incredibly cold and hot at once. That's exactly what "Frame Digging" does to the dancefloor. Goosebump massacre. "Gamma Quadrant" combines emotive Balearic elements with a rolling minimal house track that's reminiscent of early Playhouse glory. Or is it early Kompakt? "Gravity Well" and "Protostar" are both taking a more chilled out route. They perfectly bookend both sides of the record and showcase Moore's stunning ability of creating suspenseful, spaced-out beauty.
