Perfect Stranger - Clear Vision 07 (Iboga Records)
Yuli Fershtat is an immense artist whose curriculum vitae includes 5 albums, 2 compilations and countless releases at well established labels, including his home label Iboga. His constant evolution in music writing and artistry has earned him the respect and consideration of fellow musicians and demanding crowds who know that dancing is also a matter of the heart.

Clear Vision builds on a 3 minute progression before the track launches a solid backing bassline that chugs along and eventually picks up a nasty distortion. An ominous voice sample, taken from “7 Years in Tibet,” treated with reverb, flirts with a plain melody that oscillates between candor and sarcasm. In that respect this construction somewhat reminds us of the recently released BLT track remixed by A Balter. As you might expect, precise detailed production is de rigueur, as well as a unique atmosphere with a discreet techy influence.

The Fiord remix signed by Kiwi fames Hayden & Barton Strom gives the seminal piece an even deeper, darker edge. The lacerated Brad Pitt voice sample gives you the creeps this time and the exquisite layers of sounds and construction all conspire to torture the brain. Although setting its sights on the mental dimension, the stomping techno beats make it a powerful black sabbath that has already sent up heaps of dust this summer at the Boom festival and that will doubtlessly make more casualties on dancefloors in the months to come. The best Fiord rework to date, which calls for more. Not to be missed.

What’s the line up is a now classic tune from a great vintage year (2005), which proves how a gran reserva ages well. It is also worth noting that his colleague Morax wrote a great remix, later published on the Perfect Stranger remix album “Changed.”

Bottom line: This release is worth it for the new Perfect Stranger tracks, which make a great teaser for his upcoming CD, scheduled to be another milestone album. My favourite is the Fiord rmx though.
