Artists associated with Dutch EM label Groove Unlimited continue to be the tip of the spear for Berlin School music in the 21st century. Gert Emmens’s latest album offers further evidence to justify that statement. Its big, almost orchestral sound brings to mind the classic EM albums by Jean-Michel Jarre in the 1970s. Amazing how Emmens has taken an ordinary, daily occurrence and turned it into an epic. Generously long (five tracks over 13 minutes!). Cinematic. And magical. Paul Asbury Seaman
