“ If Tom Trago s debut album, Voyage Direct, was an impressive exercise in developing a signature style, then this sophomore set has clearly been designed to show the sheer scale of the Dutchman s growing ambition. It s almost as if Trago is setting out his stall: he s not just a simple disco/house fusionist, but a musical alchemist with more strings to his bow than a twelve-string player with an impressive collection of lutes, mandarins and sitars. The 15 tracks that make up Iris include forays into noughties hip-house (Tyree Cooper collaboration What You Do ), crisp, late night electro-funk ( Suckers For Fools , with Olivier Day Soul), ambient soundscapes ( Soon In A Cinema ), rush-inducing Joy Orbison-ish future garage ( Joys Of Choice ) and, curiously, hooky, radio-friendly pop-house. Of course, there are some typical Trago moments ( Scent Of Heaven , the Dam Funk-does-deep house vibes of Space Balloon ), but these are sandwiched between a kaleidoscopic array of rainbow-tinted songs and collaborations (Romanthony, Meikbar and San Proper also feature). ”
