Ryan Davis has been recording music since 2006. He has produced for Manual Music, Cocoon, Proton, Areal, Archipel, Back Home, Wunderbar and many other labels. Recently he has released two EPs with Traum. One can say without doubt, Ryan is a real artist and a tastemaker. Ryan has released on many labels worldwide, not always on big labels… though that never was of prior importance to him , but his quality has earned him an international audience and standing. Ryan has always gone the way which seemed natural to him and has released innovative melodic techno.

The album includes 11 previously unreleased tracks that highlight his talent to keep away from preset formulas and turn toward music compositions. The album opens with the great track "The Enchanted Garden". A piano piece that flows, flies, observes with one eye… keeping a perfect balance… sparks of electronica being added… tiny but lively as rainforest sounds. We think this is a timeless track and a true pearl and shows that Ryan was not saving up things for later.

"Where The Right Things Are" is a haunted track... in a gentle way... full of passion and sadness, madness and melancholy. Some of this has been put into music by bands such as New Order, King Of The Slums and the Blue Orchids. This is a great shoegazing track that never stays still . "Beluga" kicks off with up a pulsating pond of energy. It creates life seemingly out of “nothing”, so full of colours and shapes the transformation itself is amazing and shows the enormous composition skills Ryan is capable of. Suddenly all is in uproar blinking shinning rushing in different directions. This is a real musical masterpiece.

"Break The Night" articulates perfectly the dooming and gloomy, heavy atmosphere the night radiates when a finest baroque feeling is created through a rotating “miniature” melody, circulating and winding it’s body through the gaps the basslines has created. This is great storytelling, a fantastic tale of illumination. "The Field" acts like a hi-speed flying camera sent to forbidden areas to record footage. Arousing, spectacular, triggering heart attacks... it soon becomes clear it will never loose control and when we long for these moments of chaos it seems even more “collected” and by magic forces even smooth and gentle it crosses oceans in light speed. Before we recognise what has happened to us the song is over and we give high praise to Ryan Davis that he has the guts to not extend these moments but quits when all has been said. The track has a breathtaking tempo and is enchanting at the same time. Etc etc....
