The first is thanks to Shimo again, and an older set that some will have heard already. I somehow totally missed it at the time though, and it&#8217;s a very pleasant surprise to see the level of back catalogue that Risa\/Rinergy has been building up over the past year or so.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been paying attention recently then you&#8217;re already familiar with the excellent\u00a0<em>Ordeal<\/em>, released late last year on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thankyouforthehorse.net\/?p=4170\">Khaosnet Civilization 3<\/a>, but it doesn&#8217;t even find a place in this promo set. Impressively there are a fair few tracks here that match its Nomic-esque emotional melodies, and a couple that get as close to Nomic&#8217;s style as anyone has managed for a long time. There&#8217;s also a pleasing preference for filtery leads &#8211; I&#8217;ve long thought they can improve even the most unispired freeform melody, so when they&#8217;re used with Ri-energy level of composition we&#8217;re really talking.<\/p>\n<p>Overall it&#8217;s a nice combination, as those filtered melodies have something of a Substanced\/Hyphen feel while the piano and swelling strings steer things in more of a Nomic direction. This is also a brilliantly constructed set with (a couple of exceptions aside) some quality transitions that are as good as you&#8217;ll hear in an artist set\/live PA affair. While the final Substanced remixes aren&#8217;t my thing at all they&#8217;re a good example of how Ri-energy&#8217;s production range stretches a lot further than the excellent but pretty consistent style we&#8217;ve heard for the previous 50 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously a recommended set then, and if ever CODEX is to make a reappearance Ri-energy gets my vote for a Live PA slot on the lineup &#8211; I&#8217;d love to hear a set like this in a club setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FutureProof Sounds \u00b7 Risa &#8211; Hope (Clip) Let&#8217;s start the year off with a few things that I should have mentioned at the end of last one.
