The second album from MOY is a musical evolution, borne of change. Since his first compilation appearance in 2019, the prolific producer and live performer has released on some of electro’s most revered labels, including Analogical Force, AC Records, Nocta Numerica and Exalt - but this latest record, for his own MOY imprint, amps up the musicality and emotion to create something even deeper.
Moving cities and becoming a parent have imprinted the sound of ‘The Phenomenon Of Memory’. The opener, ‘Sunrise (Live)’, rides a thundering breakbeat, but the plangent acid lines, moody bass undertows and gorgeous piano riffs give it a poignant air. ‘Alpha Decay’ is a slow and low electro cut wreathed in bleeps and soaring string pads, with a monstrous low-end tying it all together, while ‘Echoic Memory’ sounds like a hidden gem of mid ’90s electronica, recalibrated for modern ears, with its mystic synth lines and stately break.
