{"product_id":"zen237","title":"Illum Sphere - Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eRyan Hunn, also known as producer and DJ Illum Sphere, returns to Ninja Tune with his second full-length, Glass, on November 4th. Glass is fittingly his most crystal-clear statement to date, stretching nine dynamic but focused tracks which are given room to shapeshift within a larger, living whole. Pervading the album is a sense of detachment, most prevalent on standout tracks “Fall Into Water” and later on “Thousand Yard Stare”, the album’s longest statement at almost nine minutes.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nGlass follows 2014’s Ghosts of Then and Now as the producer’s second full-length effort, but sonically moves further in the direction hinted by his Spectre Vex 12”s and well-received mixes for fabriclive and Dekmantel. The reduction in output over this time a conscious decision to carefully signpost a change in direction. This same shift has also bled into his acclaimed DJ sets - that have previously won him fans in Thom Yorke and Ben UFO - leaving him poised now more than ever to delve into a new phase.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n‘I wanted to make an album very different to the first,’ says the producer, ‘one with a different palette, pace and energy.”\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nA change in “situation and style,” as he describes it, replaces the sharp turns and drastic shifts in altitude of his earlier efforts. Glass is a record steeped in mechanical depth and a beating cohesiveness, reminiscent of contemporaries Helena Hauff and Kassem Mosse, and positioning the industry’s best kept secret—Illum Sphere—to have a breakout year all his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninjatune","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44934238994591,"sku":"ZENCD237","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":44934239027359,"sku":"ZEN237","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":44934239060127,"sku":"ZENCAS237","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/products\/glass-main.jpg?v=1736246381","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/zen237","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
