Claude says:Richard Melville Hall has sold twenty million records and helped bring electronic music to the mainstream in the nineties, but by the early 2000s he was already layering downtempo meditation over the rave pulse that made his name. This 2002 collection bundles 18 and its B-sides — sleek electronica that dials back the stadium samples for something more reflective, with drum machines and synth pads that hang in the air. A couple of stray plays in 2024 didn't register, but twenty-three years after release it finally clicked in May 2025, and you've kept coming back to "Extreme Ways," "We Are All Made of Stars," and "Horse & Carrot" ever since.
