    Liquid Sound Design have raised the bar even higher with the
    release of Abakus's(aka Russell Davies) exquisite debut album "That
    Much Closer To The Sun" .. a perfect title for an album that
    literally does put some sunshine in your life after that first
    listen.

    Superbly produced and laden with melodies and hooks 'Closer to the
    Sun' delivers on all fronts. Across eleven tracks Russell Davies
    has created an album that simply 'works' from start to finish, from
    the Balearic joy Nightwalker, to the recent single Indu plus future
    classics A Whole New Way & Magenta, the album is choca with musical
    gems.

    The 12" Indu(with shiloh remix) has been getting support and plays
    from Digweed, Nick Warren, Phil Thompson and Hybrid who called it
    "outstanding!". The unusal hybrid track has bridged musical genres
    and sits equally at home on the dancefloor as it does at home....

    As well Abakus, Russell Davies moonlights as one half Nada(LSD) and
    remixes the likes of The Orb and Kooler. Citing a variety of music
    influences from breaks to trance, progressive to dub, Russell has
    puts them all into the musical melting pot and created an album
    that defies pigeon holing.

    "That Much Closer To The Sun" will be released on Monday 10th May,
    preceded by the single "Indu" on 26th April and if there's any
    justice will be the soundtrack to the summer.
