Review

RE-RELEASE!! Step by step, Lorna develops into a pearl-diver for up-to-date House that’s one thing above all: Tight to the point. While the first two EPs were dug out from some anonymous hard discs, Lorna now is a platform for promising faces with guts. Tom Mangan is the guy behind release number four: Spreading his talent on a wide field, his name has been around since 2002 with EPs on labels such as Bedrock or Tiefschwarz’s Souvenir. Together with Cass Cutbusch he has been responsible for a variety of club hits as Cass & Mangan and Deadset on Wall Of Sound, Fine and Sabotage Systems. “Good Words” gets you with its deepness and musicality - tight House music right for the floor. “Bit Lip” on side B spreads over twelve minutes - closely selected harmonies and sounds conjure up a hypnotic House track that serves as deadly secret weapon in early morning hours.

LORNA04 in the media

BIGSHOT MAGAZINE (USA): “Taking a break from releasing on Bedrock, and Souvenir, Mr. Mangan brings some of his patented up-to-date house music. From huge synth washes modulating with a time-synced LFO wave on the filter, to bright flashes of xylophone-styled patches, the sounds are fresh and the arrangement is smooth. The backside is home to a deadly secret house weapon full of haunting tones that will surely destroy the early morning hours. Praxis”

Claude v Stroke (Mothership/Di: “ I like both sides. Probably will play “Good Words” more. Nice sounds. Nice house ”

De:Bug (GER): “Tom Mangan, der ja in letzter Zeit auch mit seinem Deadset Projekt mit Cass Cutbush abräumt, mach für Lorna zwei sehr relaxte Housetracks für die schwermütige Afterhour. Die Tracks haben leichten Jazzfragmenten auf der A-Seite und detroitigen Blitzern auf der B- Seite genau so viel Tiefe, wie man von ihm erwartet und gleichzeitig eine sehr magische Melodiösität an den Tag legen, die man wirklich nicht oft hört. Speziell auf "Bit Lip" kommt man gar nicht mehr davon los. http://www.ilikelorna.com bleed•••• ”

Jamie Jones (Crosstownrebels/C: “This is a really really good. I will be playing a lot. Lovely subtle melody. ”

Karotte (Cocoon): “good words ist gut. schön was für den anfang von langen sets. i like it.”

Laurent Garnier (F-Com): “realy like the B side Will definitely play”

Layo&Bushwacka (Globalundergro: “Like B-side!!”

Mike Monday (Om): “Good words is fab. Playing it everywhere!”
