Lead single “Pools” and “Islands” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. On the Ireland charts, superstar Steps Ahead’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. It has been ten years Steps Ahead’ last studio CD, “Steps Ahead” which won Array Grammy Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Smart music for smart people.
Islands is one of the best records ever. Loxodrome is the more seemingly obscure song on Steps Ahead that bear up best to repeated listening. Both Sides of the Coin is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. What sets Trio apart is Steps Ahead’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres.
