Kage – A Future Remembered (Reissue) (BYTIME012)

It’s an excursion into the past for Curated By Time, as the Spanish imprint travels back to the millennium on Kage’s A Future Remembered. Five vintage cuts that embody the sound of an era long gone, but never forgotten.

We’re blessed with a trance-leaning musical number on Nightvision, with softened kicks and enchanting vocals marrying up in beautiful harmony. Semaphore then takes us into a weightier realm, as thick percussion moves beneath shimmering synths throughout.

The ambient sounds of Lost Cities come next, with blissed-out, dream-like elements transporting us to a world far removed from our own. It’s the ideal precursor to Seven Years, which ratchets up the tempo via four-four drum patterns and whip-like claps, before Acapulco Delight completes proceedings on a minimal-toned, techno-inspired note.
