747 “Lost Lagoon” (Aquaregia)
What would it sound like if Tin Man made a jungle record? 747’s new Pacific Spirit album provides a pretty solid—and highly enjoyable—answer, even though the Toronto producer most likely had other things in mind when he started working on the record. With its billowing textures and dreamlike atmosphere, LP standout “Lost Lagoon” might actually qualify as liquid drum & bass, and while its tweaky wiggles will surely excite the acid crowd, the song also nods toward the majestic end of the trance spectrum, populating its closing minutes with a volley of elegantly fluttering melodies.
