The return of "Roy Of The Ravers" is always a moment for Emotional Response. Alongside, the infinitely heralded debut that was the "2 Late 4 Love" EP in 2016 and the later "Emotinium ’23" remixes, there has been the "While Line Sunrise" series examining the ambient, experimental electronics meets braindance techno releases that showcased lost archives from the late 90s to today, here reaching the 3rd installment with 2 EPs of more machine-driven acid funk.
Following the grand expanse of double LP "White Line Sunrise II" and its subsequent double pack follow up "White Line Sunrise II.I (Le Roy Soliel)", "III (3)" aims predominantly for the dancefloor. The uplifting techno of opening "Primavera Anjo" and squelching TB303 of "Plant Earth" are premier Roy, hypnotic, percussive, psychedelic purity for the feet.
The flip allows head room for the mind, the deep chords and arpeggios of "G-Force" signal the vortex shift, before the cinematic, rolling breaks and double bass of "Glass Knife" sweep far and wide. Recording over 25 years ago, the changing time signatures highlight the influence of (modern) classical and even jazz on Roy, pulsing, permeating, and pushing his sound in the moment, music thought lost that is gladly now, again found.
