Album Review: Martyn – Ghost People (2011) Brainfeeder

Well-revered veteran of bass music Martyn returns with his eagerly awaited sophomore album “Ghost People” proving that chart friendly Dutch House is not the only music coming across the North Sea from Holland right now. After opting to see Martyn instead of Skream at Outlook Festival earlier this year, he became one of my highlights from the festival season, with a set which showcased a number of new tracks featured on this album – making me even more excited to hear his newest output
This album showcases the true depth and detail Martyn explores with his bass-orientated brand of electronica. From the eerie opening track “Love and Machines” (Featuring Hyperdub Records regular ‘Spaceape’) the scene is set for the musical amalgamation of man and machine which ensues.
