Sirens Of The Sea
Above & Beyond Pres. OceanLab
Label: Anjunabeats
Blissful Balearic moments courtesy of Above & Beyond�s chart-hitting side project with Justine Suissa�
Ibiza - the birthplace of modern dance music. 20 years on and the island remains an important catalyst for today�s hottest dance talents. This year, OceanLab, the project featuring Above & Beyond and singer/songwriter Justine Suissa spent several weeks holed up in a villa there finishing their debut album, �Sirens Of The Sea�.
Seeped in Balearic brilliance, �Sirens Of The Sea� is a mix of blissed out epics and dancefloor cuts. An album of depth, variety and serene beauty, showcasing a level of songwriting and production rarely witnessed within electronic music, and already drawing comparisons with bands such as Zero 7 and Everything But The Girl.
As OceanLab, Tony, Paavo and Jono�s work with Justine has led to a string of club anthems such as �Clear Blue Water� (Top 50 UK Sales Chart), �Sky Falls Down� and �Beautiful Together�, with each release adding to OceanLab's reputation as one of clubland's best loved vocal dance projects. They crossed into the mainstream consciousness when their 4th single, �Satellite�, was A-listed on Radio 1 and broke into the Top 20 of the UK sales chart, enjoying similar success globally.
Above & Beyond were voted No.11 in the world's Top 25 dance acts of the past 25 years according to Mixmag�s readers, and as DJs, are ranked at No.6 in DJ Magazine�s Top 100. Their debut artist album, �Tri-State�, was one of the top selling dance albums on iTunes in 2006.
Tony McGuiness from OceanLab said:
�OceanLab has been a part of the Above & Beyond family since the very start (�Satellite� is probably our most popular song when we DJ, even now), so it was only a matter of time before we did an album with Justine. With Tri-State out of the way we started writing for the album in earnest two years ago. Justine has a unique lyrical perspective and we've decided to make that centre stage as much as possible, so the album is again a very personal statement by us. We hope you like it!�

at them being compared to Zero 7.
Every Oceanlab release I've ever heard was wank. Even the remixes (though I think there was some remix of Satellite which was alright because it sounded absolutely nothing like the original, cba to think of what it is at the moment because -- well, it's Oceanlab).
This'll be guttercum save for fanboys I venture.
Yeah right man, stop trying to hide it. You're just as excited for this album as the GQ.
I hope they have an album-listening down at Midcity. I'm so fucking game. I'll even wear my trancelettos.
I'll bring my trancebands and raveboots.
Sirens Of The Sea is a kick ass song.

Sounds pretty decent from the samples, will definately be giving it a full listen
This album has been in production for something like 4 years already. It better be good.

If this release is anything on par with Tri-State, it probably won't be half bad.
Although nothing spectacular, and nothing that deviated too much from the typical formula, it was a pleasent little album that benefited greatly from a dramatic toning down of all the overblown, over-inflated Trance gimmicks you run into on a daily basis.
hope the album will be as good as the cover
That cover is pretty cool actually.
This album is out now on iTunes!
