about

"Welcome once again in the electronic world of Create". This is how Englishman Steve Humphries opens the booklet of his new cd "In The Blink Of An Eye" under his artistname Create. Steve’s world is deeply rooted within the Berlin School style of electronic music. This is a style in which he became a well known and household name during the last years. He does this solo as Create, as a duo with Jez Creek as Astrogator or with a group of musicians as Quadra. In the beginning, in his electronic world there was only place for a computer and the Reason software but soon he started using hardware synthesizers, new and old. And armed with this gear, he could also play live as he proved on many occasions.

"In The Blink Of An Eye" contains music Steve composed in his Backroom Studio. Two of the tracks, "No Inhibitions" and "Collision", were played live in this studio. Steve’s music is beging built up in an excellent way. Where many retro/Berlin School-musicians use long intros with experimental effects and atmospheric sounds, Steve gets to the point rather quickly and starts his sequencers, over which he plays his solos and lays his retrosounds.
"No Inhibitions" is clearly a fine example of Steve’s approach.
The titletrack opens with soft and relaxing sounds, after which a great sequence follows. To speed things up, he uses very interesting rhythmic sounds in the thrusting "A Glimmer Of Hope". And just listen how fat the solosynths sound!
A metallic sequence dominates the wonderful crafted "Rise To The Occasion". Here, Steve’s love for one of the Grandmasters of electronic music, Klaus Schulze, can be heard well.
"Collision" again is played live in the studio. It contains a wonderful ongoing sequence that belongs to the most innovative ever created.

"Wherever you are in the world so much can happen in The Blink Of An Eye", Steve says in the booklet. That is absolutely true. Let’s just hope that his career in electronic music will take many more blinks of the eye. This album proves again that Steve has moved himself in the top of the retro/Berlin School style of electronic music
