“The Parkhurst” gives us five cuts spanning a wide spectrum of emotional hues and dancefloor objectives and we can see Terrence venturing into some rare territory for one who has hewed such a well-defined and recognizable sound through his career. “City Nights” it’s a maze of operatic afrobeat-tinged house music rushing gaining momentum with each angular twist into sweaty oblivion.“Suspended” is the breather after the workout: sensory deprivation courtesy of rippling strands of static chords, featuring a deep extended digital-only mix of this mesmerizing little jewel. “After Five” carves a languid, oversexed groove—the perfect soundtrack for a rainy evening at home or in the morning sessions at the club. On the flip, “The Parkhurst” brings that old familiar no-bullshit aesthetic back into the picture with a pensive minor key melody fused with alien orchestral accompaniment. The clooser, “Multiply” reaches into techno’s past to communicate with us in the here and now—giving each new element room to grow and sing.
