Notes

This review was posted to inthemix.com.au:

Created On January 21st, 2006 by Vocal Assault

Aventine are a new electronic duo, made up of singer/songwriter Renee Hibbert from Newcastle (NSW) and Melbourne writer/producer Glenn Oakes (a stalwart on the Melbourne indie alternative punk scene).

Under The Milky Way is the first taste of what's to come fro the unlikely duo, and what better way to captivate us all, than to cover a gorgeous piece of classic pop from The Church's back catalogue?

And the results? Think of something that's quite fittingly placed between the likes of Delerium's musical expeditions with Sarah McLauchlan, Decoder Ring's recent works with songstress Lenka or even a bit of Massive Attack and you'll be thinking in the right direction.

As the beats build and chug away, Renee's red-wine fuelled voice, sweet but with a nice underlaying strength, lifts the track right up to a radio-friendly level and the results are divine.

As long as you stick to the D-Code Techtrance 7" Mix, you'll be right. There's just something a little lost, over-polished, or overworked on the other mixes for me as they get lost in a bit of a commercial club-land and fail to deliver the perfection put forth to us on the first mix we're exposed to.

In all, this is a new duo to watch out for, it'll be exciting to see where they can take us next with their debut, at this point things look promising, so long as they don't let too many cooks in the kitchen to serve the results.
