Search - Asc :: Imagine the Future

At this point, James Clements aka ASC is clearly in an entire musical realm of his own. With critically acclaimed releases for prominent & well respected ambient, techno, and electronica labels, everything James produces continues to resonate with the most progressive minds in the electronic music scene. Having cut his production teeth on what was known as 'intelligent drum and bass', James went on to dismantle the very framework of 170 bpm musical creation and re-assemble it into a new adventurous, spacious design which would eventually morph into what became known as 'Autonomic'. Providing the very first album for Instra:mental's 'Nonplus' label (his 6th as ASC), James entered into a flurry of songwriting form that would continue to evolve as he became frighteningly prolific, spreading his unique approach effortlessly across tempo's and non tempo's to re affirm his powerful singularity in a field of music dominated by copyists and recycled ideas. 2015 brings us to his 12th album as ASC and second for Samurai Red Seal. Following on from the 2012 album Out Of Sync, Imagine The Future is the 170 bpm Sci Fi dream-state album we always hoped ASC would make. An enveloping futuristic sound environment, Imagine The Future conjures images of parallel worlds, much like the Blade Runner movie and soundtrack did for us all in the early 80's and into the 90's. Imagine The Future is an album that demands your attention for its entirety, no mean feat in 2015.
