I've already written about A Mountain Of One's Stars Planets Dust Me, one of 2022's album highlights, a sun- baked, existential fever dream, Balearic cosmic dance spliced with prog and tripped out yacht rock. Some of it feels like the music you hear when you've nodded off on a sun-lounger and are just waking up, not quite sure where or when you are. The song Stars- all of this with a sunset bound guitar solo running through the middle of it- has been remixed and was released as a single at the end of July.
The pick of the three remixes is from Glok. Regular readers here will know that Glok is Ride's Andy Bell, a man currently responsible for two of this year's other best albums (his solo album Flicker and Glok's Pattern Recognition) and who has toured the UK and Europe twice already, once playing his solo Space Station set and once with Ride playing Nowhere. The Glok Starlight Dub is a delight, all echo laden vocals, chuggy drum machine rhythm and lots of space, stripped back Mediterranean dub.
