Solarstone 'Herald' (Black Hole Recordings)
Solarstone fans have been waiting for more details of this track ever since he debuted it at Transmission in Prague more than 18 months ago. Cut from a similar cloth to his earlier anthem ‘Hearts’, ‘Herald’ is melodic and harmonic with calling female vocals, powerfully struck strings and aerodynamic synths. Having said all that, though, it doesn’t really go anywhere – and considering it’s more than eight minutes long, it could have done with being a little shorter.
