ILS

PARANOID PROPHETS

BOTCHIT & SCARPER

CD

(NOVEMBER 2007)

Breakbeat mastermind Ils (real name Ilian Walker) follows up ‘Idiots Behind The Wheel’ (on Fuel Records), ‘Soul Trader’ (Marine Parade), and ‘Bohemia’ (Distinctive) with his new long player.

For his new album ‘Paranoid Prophets’, Ils has reshaped his sound once again, drawing influence from right across the musical board. Soaked with his trademark choppy organic drums and low-end bass tones ‘Paraniod Prophets’ sees Ils push his sound to a whole new level.

‘Hate Is An Illness’ lights the fuse, a lower tempo affair featuring vocals from Thalia and Vanessa Smith drifting over in a haze. 'Everybody Needs A Shrink' lifts the lid on Pandoras box, tapping into the darker corners of the mind, leading us down the breakbeat path... Next up 'Broken Homes' unleashes itself before vocals from Valkyrie soothe on 'Hope And Torture'. Taking a turn to the darker side, 'No Money On Trees' haunts the soul with hypnotic strings and constricting verbs from Wonda. Dropping the vibes down, 'Sleeping Village' shows the musical diversity of Ils. 'Burn Again' clips at the heels and commands your attention, with 'Always' to round off the album, featuring the heavenly tones of Keatz, to send you gracefully into the night...
