Husband and wife duo The Rurals are masters at producing uplifting disco house; yet after listening to their new album, I'm not left with an overwhelmingly camp sheen, more of an unthoughtoutand natural connection to the funk-soul roots and deeper side of house. The Rurals' mastery of deepness culminates in tracks like 'Song Of A Thousand Names' and 'Space Disco', which both set faith on low key synths and delectable drops, while 'Meatless Paste' remains on the deep side with a unique twist of jazzy strings, big band drums and an intricately emotive ambience. For some varience, the track 'No I.D.' has a UK garage feeling, proving the dynamic talents of these old timers (they began making music in 1995). If you're a Rurals fan, you'll be pleased to know that the majority of tracks are disco-tinted, suitable for any afro-wearing extravaganza. 'Dancin'' does what is says on the tin, alluring with subtly beautiful drops and a piano note that pulls at your very own strings and 'Corker' is, wait for it, an absolute corker. Maybe The Rurals named it so upon finishing the tune, when they sat back and listened on loud speakers - because that's the reaction it forced from me. Though the stand-out track is disco-tinted (and 4 years old), it's the deeper side to Special Edition that makes it worth bagging a copy.
Enjoy.
