Synopsis
Album Description Steve Miller is the writer, producer, and remixer behind the blissful grooves of Afterlife. Having been represented on virtually every Café Del Mar volumes, Afterlife are the mainstay artists of the successful series. Four years has passed since Afterlife?s debut album, Steve Miller has finally agreed the release for the second Afterlife album on Bar de Lune. Speck of Gold is summed up by its title track ? emotional, soulful, sensual, and breathtaking. Original vocalist Rachel Lloyd is featured here alongside many guest voices ? former Ibiza resident Cathy Battistessa, plus Melanie Williams, Angela Neve, Calladine, Rood Chakra and Chris Coco. The album also includes a second CD, crammed with remixes and extras from Roger Sanchez, Christophe Goze, and more (including a Danni Minogue collaboration). This is downtempo at its best ? enjoy!

CD ReviewsCan you dance...in a prone position? D. F. Jackson | Beacon, New York USA | 04/03/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm shocked!!...only a few reviews for this one?? All those who bought Simplicity 2000 (and loved it!)...should surely get THIS one!! Lay-back lounge it is indeed...but you can also...well..I'll get to THAT later. The nuvo-bossa that predominated Simplicity 2000 is kicked up a notch or two here...it's less new-age and more SAMBA-SAMBA, BABY! What do you get when you combine Nu-soul, ambient and bossa??...you get a sensual, smooth confection of sweet nothing named "Smooch". Tito Puente type Congas...synthesizers...female chanting...it's fantastic...it's called "Ozo"! The ballads (Miracle & Speck of Gold) are dreamy/creamy, pass the mimosa perfect...but then on Disc 2...the incredible Cantoma remixes "Miracle", replaces the cream with some added rhythm rum and with his acoustic guitar, takes the whole thing to Ibiza land around 2:47 AM. By the way...if you can get your hands on the CANTOMA CD, don't make the mistake I did and lend it out...I can be a total idiot! One more piece of advice...don't sleep on SOLARIUM/TAPIS ROUGE by Cirque Du Soleil...it has another fabulous remix by Cantoma ("Gamelan") and a percussive, sexy, Middle-Eastern styled remix by Afterlife ("Ombra"). Can you dance in a prone position??...Of course you can...so invite that special someone, hold them close...and one suggestion, SPECK OF GOLD should be playing in the background...but uh, turn the volume UP!" A big Label Needs to Pick Afterlife up NOW! Paul Lonsdale | 02/28/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Simply put everyone I know whom I introduce Afterlife to falls in love with his music. One of the rare down tempo artists that consistently puts out high quality tracks. I cannot comment highly enough about this generous guy - just buy anything he releases/has released to enrich your life in a positive way. Enjoy."
