HOLOVR comes clean and correct with this follow-up to his LP on Opal Tapes. Emerging into a fresh, crisp orbit from the murk of the planetary core, Line of Flight sees HOLOVR embrace a new palette of winding acid drift. Melodic synth lines unfold, snake and repeat, underpinned by pattering percussion and buffeting, wistfully euphoric pads. Long-form and layered with subtle shifts and hypnotic grooves, this is one for the space trippers and trancefloors.
Recorded live to two tracks.

If you're looking for a friendly way into the Opal Tapes catalogue I'm afraid there isn't one. However, this is a great (and very decently priced) introduction to the distinct sound this label has made its own with some fantastic slices of techno. AJ.
This remix collection moves from moody ambiance, to aggressive drum & bass, to songs that have the open-ended energy of free jazz. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 12, 2021

I often get Mercury in Retrograde stuck in my head as a foggy theme of liminal spaces and dreamy headspace but Bed of Nails feels like analog skronk is about to drip straight through the walls into the basement Carl Fisk
