With his debut album slated for the beginning of summer, A.M.R is certainly making the most of a challenging year for our global community. "Sailor's Cry," the first single from his forthcoming album ("A Place For Everything"), centers on an intoxicating organic house groove, as wistful female vocal hooks and melancholic keys coalesce to craft an exceedingly beautiful soundscape. As the track progresses, a robust new bassline layer subtly emerges, and haunting strings make a dramatic entrance as well. Pouring out like the plaintive inner voice of a sailor lost at sea, the full vocal refrain finally arrives in the main breakdown and continues through the drop, as the protagonist battles an especially stormy sea. A.M.R's breathtaking strings guide us through the stirring finale, with the narrator's journey left indelibly in our hearts, long after the song's conclusion.
Out of these two remix albums I much prefer Remix 02 as there are alot more remixes with which I enjoy. Monstercat Silk has done an amazing job with the selection of artists as this was the album that made me want to drive deep into the Monstercat realm with which allowed me to discover an album with which I look forward to purchasing in the future.
