VoLt is a new duo from the UK consisting of Steve Smith and Michael Shipway. New but not entirely unknown because Shipway released 3 solo CD's in the early 90's on the now defunct Surreal To Real label. The 3 tracks on “The Far Canal” (Parts I, II and III) were performed live in concert and in the studio, the only preparation being the programming of sounds and sequences.
“The Far Canal” is an exceptional album. It contains an own approach by the duo to the concept of Retro New Age (Berlin School). Part I opens atmospheric and after a while a sequence appears. This is the start of a long improvisation where they make use of great sounds. The second part again begins with quiet sounds. Than, a stretched piece enters with many atmospheres and an intriguing rhythm. Part III with over 24 minutes is the longest and also the best track. It is a live recording. First, it contains spacey effects after which rather symphonic sounds and solos come. Than the sequences, full and impressive, fall in and the solos become heavier making it an absolutely great piece. A sort of classical Tangerine Dream but played on modern instruments.
With “The Far Canal” Volt has created a great piece of work. It is retro, it is New Age Spacemusic, but something else than we’ve heard in this genre so far.
