With last year’s Visione, Marco Shuttle steered his ghostly techno onto more varied terrain. This single returns to firmer ground—not only in style, but by reprising one of Shuttle’s bigger successes. “Sing Like A Bird (Reprise)” avoids being a tired rehash by stripping the original of its most recognisable element, only allowing the vocal to surface as the occasional reverbed tone. It acts just as another component in a piece of distilled, psychedelic techno as fine as many Shuttle has released. The wandering modal melody that replaces it puts a gloomier slant on the track’s hypnotic groove.
On the flip, “Back Here”‘s reverb haze and chirruping synths suggest nocturnal journeys through sinister jungle landscapes. After a while, the quiet arp stutters are joined by thoughtful piano tinkles. Shuttle can make huge, monochrome techno when he wants to, but these daubs of subtle colour suit him best.
