Optical Illusions (Billy Buttons Remix) 5:50 Release Notes: On 20 April 2009 William Orbit is to release the 'Optical Illusions' EP. Taken from his forthcoming eighth studio album under his own name, 'My Oracle Lives Uptown' (out May 4th), the downloadable five track ep features four exciting remixes and a radio edit. (This is a promo CD of it) Although his music is largely instrumental, Orbit loves to work with singers. The placement of vocals within the track icomes via a remixer's ear for shifts of perspective, taking peripheral elements and forefronting them so they become the focus of the track. On "Optical Illusions", vocalist Karen Poole's contribution is one vocodered line, "Call my name", which could have been the hook of a dance tune, but set amongst acoustic guitar chords and melancholic, layered keyboards it takes on a peculiar poignancy. Kicking off with the radio edit, the EP features remixes from hot new dubstep / jazz breaks DJ Aaron Jerome, who has gained critical acclaim for his debut album 'Time To Rearrange' and remixed artists include Gotan Project, Future Loop Foundation, Roy Davis Jnr and Little Dragon. Next is a take on the song from dubstep remixer Trenchman, who came to prominence with his remix of Lil Wayne 'A Milli'. The EP also boasts mixes by Bristol's Dr Meaker, a well know face on the drum and bass scene, and a more subtle rearrangement of the vocals and atmospherics by William Orbit himself in the Billy Buttons mix - so called because it ties in with some of the sound effects 'buttons' on William's blog (www.williamorbit.com). William Orbit has been in high demand as a producer and remixer for well over a decade, most famously working with Madonna on her 1998 album Ray Of Light, as well as Blur, Britney Spears, Sugababes, Pink and scores of other artists. Although My Oracle Lives Uptown is probably William Orbit's most immediate album, it's so subtly layered that it only reveals itself fully after a number of plays. And like his other solo albums, it will surely be resistant to the ageing process. His vision is idiosyncratic and original enough to not to have to try to play catch-up with anyone else, giving his music a curiously timeless feel.
