Release date: 26 March 2010

"Distant Futures” is the debut
album from ‘Avalon’, the exciting new solo project from Leon Kane
(ex-member of Reality Grid on Wildthings Records). Having played in
over 20 countries at some of the biggest festivals worldwide like Tribe,
Glade, Universo Paralello and Burning man, the Avalon name has gained
a huge reputation for dance-floor satisfaction, not to mention experience
from some of the best events around. His unique style is captured
right from track one and takes you on a rip-roaring, mind-melting journey.
The Avalon sound is full on with expertly implied melodies, driving
basslines, hard hitting percussion and evocative sound-design, all resulting
in a top-class album, sure to be marked as a 'classic' Trance album
for the rest of time. Not only has Avalon put down some massive
solo tunes that are sure fire winners for 'Distant Futures', but he
has also got the nod from some of the UK's most influential producers
such as Tristan, Dickster and Cosmosis who have in turn collaborated
with him on tracks for this amazing debut album. Added to all this is
some supreme mastering by Ido Ophir aka Domestic, ensuring a quality
release of the highest order.

TRACK BY TRACK

Play It Bahia
Swelling synth sweeps move in like
a warm front atop churning waves of rolling bassbeats. Arpeggiated acid
riffs squish your eardrums with doughy saturation. The introductions
of layers of rhythmic hi hats, background pops and belches, and miscellaneous
bits of sonic candy build the sound into an energetic dancefloor thumper.

Into The New World
The beginnings of this work is hallmarked
by distinctive synth string plucking, hooking you into what becomes
a highly evolved mood by this track's end. The sound bites contrast
against each other well, adding foreground and background It's all cemented
together by full, meaty basslines which keep the flow going like a tide
undertow.

Teleporter
A prominent kick and bass combo ushers
in an array of snares and highs to cover it. Sweeps and stabs are carefully,
deliberately placed to provide subtle buildup. It isn't long before
screaming leads and pitchy oscillations take center stage. Multiple
climax moments offer up stellar, non linear progression of tension and
release.

Destiny Awaits
This track is a touch more chilling
than its predecessors. The chords have a slightly hair-raising sinister
quality around their edges which provide a nighttime stomp factor at
the outset. Funky arrangements of panoramic rhythmic lead vibrations
ping pong your body around, with bouncy bits and bites providing the
pogo stick for you to get vertical on.

Funky Voodoo
Alien sci-fi atmospheres provide the
backdrop for incoming arrays of sound frequency. The bassline is quite
distinctive from its trackmates, and there is a telltale retro feel
to many of the lead layers. The percussion is excellent and ranges from
the rhythm defining to the background coloring. Plenty of breaks and
beat punches keep the energy fresh throughout.

Out There
This work's beginnings are sloppily
squishy and delightfully organic. Well filtered snares and clever beat
manipulation contrast dynamically for rich, thick lead synths to stretch
the tension like a rubber band. Reverbed background saws fill out the
sharp, jagged leads which take the fore. From start to finish, "Out
There" is a buildup into foot-wiggling frenzy.

Another Planet
An awesome arrangement of synth rhythm
goodness takes you straight into the outer nebulae. Bumpy bass riffs
nudge you ever to the directions of ascension, with phased and flanges
middle frequencies filling the sunyatic sonic spaciousness. A midway
climax progresses into explosion, allowing for old school flavours to
be rearranged anew.

Swamp Funk
The low notes take a definite full
on, in-your-face stance in this full moon masterwork. Spiced with droning
atmospheres, feral oscillator wiggles and sixteenth note stabs riding
down the middle, "Funk" lives up to its name. This one is
fit to be an outdoorsy groover rich in rhythm, drive, and sonic plot.

Distant Futures
A diesel-powered, uptempo beat stitches
together roaring, dissonant waveforms using the thread of masterful,
real feeling percussion sections. The breakdowns couldn't be placed
better, and the voice engineering is fantastic and goosebump inspiring.
Fitting in mood and texture to its predecessor, every melody and riff
summons up paranormal trance dance energy.

Opus Pokus
Avalon spares no expense in his finale
track. Ending with a bang of energy,"Opus" works from scratch
to bake a psychedelic cake containing every taste of the rainbow. At
once aggressive and progressive, this track's unrelenting bassbeat section
and unearthly strings and leads section transport your psyche to alien
dimensions, working out your body until its last moments.
