Synopsis

Album Description

Breaking out of Glasgow, Solar House makes its highly anticipated album debut with Magic of the City. This is a sophisticated release that combines elements of Nu-Jazz, House, Trip Hop, Disco and Soul to create a smooth and sensual musical backdrop for modern urban living. The hit track Got 2 B U (featured on Naked Music?s Nude Dimensions 2 and Café Del Mar?s Chill House 2) is here as well as the latin-house smash Universal (currently licensed to MTV- The Real World). Vocalist Angie Reid?s dreamy soprano, reminiscent of Billie Holiday, floats over producer/keyboardist Calum Walker?s rhodes-heavy riffs on tracks such as Rescue Me and the title track Magic of the City. Trip Hop fans won?t be disappointed either as Don?t Pass Me By gives a raw, gritty downtempo flavor. This is a terrific release for fans of Zero 7, St Germain, and Naked Music.

CD Reviews

Modern, tempered (but fun), & utterly drenched in sexuality.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"'tis a truly networked world we live in. This American first heard these Scotts at an ultra-chic, lounge in Hong Kong China (the bar was Dragon-i, and is highly recommended if your in the neighborhood).Anyway, this stands as some of my favorite chill/club music. Never "loud" or offensive, but still upbeat. I'd say it's a mix between Mark Farina and St. Germaine (both leaders in their genres). Enjoy..."
