(DIA010) Lies [2002]

(from the original release sheet:)

Not one to hold back on this tale of a lady handling her scorn, Alma belts out this prescriptive call that puts the listener in place.  Her commanding vocal presence, again, forces you to take notice!  Vocal heads beware!!

Following the success of her co-production with 1050 East on “Count On Me”, Alma’s star continues storming along with Sweet Abraham in the producer’s chair.

A1 –  Extended Vocal

On any project with which she’s involved, Alma’s vocal clearly takes center stage.  As always, her mastery over her vocal range sees her dipping and reaching with ease - sliding into scatting while her 3-part harmonies take over the chorus, the dancefloor will undoubtedly be singing. 

Sweet Abraham provides the production on this latest Diaspora vocal and we know the delicate combination of pounding 4-to-the-floor kick, sub-bass, and screaming keys will generate the kind of movement that cements a future classic!

B1 – Summer in Hamburg

B2 – Sweet Abraham’s Depth Charge 

Label newcomers Lars Behrenroth and Sinan Baymak provide a strong percussive B-side workout making for a more direct floor track that, while letting the vocal remain the focus, provides a completely different texture to hypnotise the dancefloor. 

Keeping the deep heads happy by providing his signature dub feel to the B-side, Sweet Abraham kicks in some Chicago flavoured keys that are most reminiscent of jazz and funk shuffles.  Vocal snippets round out the mix.
