Martin Wheeler creates the album he always longed to make with his third Vector Lovers outing on Soma Records.

‘Afterglow’ is 20 years in the making, sampling tracks written by Wheeler from as far back as the late eighties. Martin says, “The album is a mix of new and previously unreleased material –field recordings, analogue sounds and rediscovered Portastudio tapes of my first synthesizer from 1987 –vintage Vector Lovers reassembled in Ableton Live”.

‘Afterglow’ moves on from the futuristic anime-influenced robotic funk of the last two albums, bringing a much less synthetic, more humane vibe than its predecessors, taking past Vector Lovers classics such as ‘Melodies & Memory’ and ‘Tokyo Glitterati’ as prototypes for the new work.

From the creaky rhythms and drifting melodies of ‘Half-Life’ through vast sound painting such as ‘Last Day of Winter’ and ‘Rusting Cars & Wildflowers’, from the cinematic lamentation of ‘Piano Dust’ and the hypnotic dancefloor numbers ‘A Field’ and ‘Crash Premonition’, through to the blissful conclusion of ‘Afterglow’, this is a delightfully serene album.
