GREG WILSON Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Greg Wilson and The Reynolds first teamed up in 2015 for ‘Summer Came My Way’ as a vocoder-topped summer twinkler, backed up by sweltering handclaps and gutting electric pianistic held notes. The Merseyside DJ and producer is alleged, at least as far as Discogs bios go, to have pioneered the UK electro scene, though his collaborative sensibility with twins Katherine and Carmel Reynolds here proved otherwise downbeat but munificent in emotion, compared to electro’s later superlatively harsh, snappy, two-step snarings. The Balearic soul of ‘Summer Came My Way’ as deserving of its new ambient version, and it is the real highlight here, manifesting before us dazzlingly with its scatted lyrics and acid torsions.
