Roman Angelos and Scott Solter – Swimming Through The Aisles (Teeming Mix)

Rich Bennett of New York created the Roman Angelos project as a means of exploring his love with library tapes from the 1960s and 1970s. Rich has worked on a variety of musical endeavors outside the realm of library electronica, such as the recently reformed outsider/60s proto-punk band The Shaggs and the Brazilian funk band Limoncello.

“Swimming Through The Aisles (Teeming Mix)” is an instrumental track that showcases the collaborative talent of Roman Angelos and Scott Solter. Taken from the album ‘Supermarkets Underwater’ released by Happy Robots, this song presents a captivating blend of 1980s synth music, electronica, and soft rock.

From the very beginning, the track sets a nostalgic tone, instantly transporting listeners to the synth-driven soundscape of the 1980s. The fusion of elements such as chill-out beats, guitars, and FM synths creates an immersive and evocative atmosphere. The track has a laid-back energy that invites the listener to get lost in its dreamy and ethereal melodies. Roman Angelos and Scott Solter demonstrate their adeptness at crafting intricate instrumentals that captivate the imagination. The composition maintains a steady and engaging rhythm throughout, allowing the listener to effortlessly swim through its sonic currents. The meticulous attention to detail is evident, with carefully crafted layers of synthesizers and guitar melodies that blend seamlessly.

“Swimming Through The Aisles (Teeming Mix)” is a testament to the artists’ ability to create a sonic journey without the need for vocals. The absence of lyrics opens up the track to individual interpretation, allowing listeners to connect with the music on a more personal and introspective level. The absence of vocals also emphasizes the instrumental elements, highlighting the intricate melodies and textures that make this piece so captivating. The remixing skills of Scott Solter bring a fresh perspective to the original composition. His expertise shines through as he adds modern electronic elements, enhancing the track’s contemporary appeal while retaining its nostalgic charm. Solter’s remixing elevates the song to new heights, creating a dynamic listening experience that will please fans of both classic synth music and modern electronica.
