We Love Machine by Way Out West

Way Out West have just released We Love Machine: their fourth full album in sixteen years of partnership. Way Out West (1997) and Intensify (2001), were replete with commercial potential--so much so that the duo cut loose for 2004ʼs Donʼt Look Now, galvanizing hordes at a sunkissed Glastonbury when they hit them with the airbrakes of “Anything But You”. The firste “Only Love” featuring a package of remixes from Jerome Isma Ae, John Tejada and Glimpse. "Only Love" features Jonathan Mendelsohn on vocals and some original 80's-era keyboards that sets It off. Digging a bit into the album, “One Bright Night and Tierre del Fuego are downtempo cinematic masterpieces. Any comedown is quickly invigorated by the punchy breaks of the aptly titled block party-er “Body Motion.” It does what it says to full effect. Back to the sublime, “Survival” is 4/4 gold and one that brings the smile out. It just has “that” great throwback vibe going on. “Future Perfect” is the car chaser of the lot. It’s a futuristic barn burner, but in that Vangelis kinda way. We’ll whet your appetite for the rest of the album with a visit to the big red spot of Jupiter on “Ultra Violet” ℗ 2009 Hope Recordings
