2008 “We Share The Same Dreams” Album #2 released on Modus Records

2004 “That Much Closer To The Sun” Album #1 released on Liquid Sound Records/Biglife

Review of 2004 That Much Closer To The Sun:
Abakus is a name you will for sure hear a lot. This is Russell Davies from the UK, who has allready released several tracks on various compilations on Liquid Sound Design, the chilled side label of Dragonfly Records. Here he is out with his debut
album, which will for sure surprise many people with his beautiful summer chill. This release also came as a special Japanese edition where you will find a slightly different catalogue number and a bonus track. I am lucky enough to have the Japanese version… After hearing his tracks on several compilations, I have been really looking forward to this one.

First out is a beautiful atmospheric track, with relaxed down tempo beats and a fantastic floating vibe. About as beautiful as it can get. The melodies make you really float. Perfect for chilling out in the sun.

Track 2 is another melodic masterpiece, with a groovy bass and a relaxing tempo. The melodies are light and happy, but not too fluffy. Nice one.

I don't know why this is said to be classified as downtempo. All the songs I've heard have been 140 bps and up... ambient for sure, chill of course, but not downtempo. (not a jibe, just a thought)

I like the new album "We Share The Same Dreams". Altough it may not bring something new I think it is very well conceived and the fusion of styles and syntethizers is great.

"We Share The Same Dreams" unfortunately sounds like Sasha`s lost tracks from "Airdrawndigger" or kind of his B-sides. I`ve expected something a bit more individual and characteristic from a guy like Abakus.
