Tracklist:
01. Hubert Gomez – Death Lurks (Original Mix)
02. Hubert Gomez – Death Lurks (Petar Dundov Remix)
03. Hubert Gomez – Death Lurks (Izakaya Deployment Remix)
Release Info:
Peruvian producer Hubert Gomez has appeared on Fade Recordings and No Signal, and now makes his debut on Sudbeat.
‘Death Lurks’ is a warm tinkling affair, with its infectious stabs setting the pace, as blips and bleeps and an underlying arp add extra layers. A slight wonkiness adds to the mystique of this gem, as its subtly bobs along. A voice like synth line creates more tension and adds to its rich sound. This is most certainly a sophisticated track that does the business for sure.
Picking up the pace and adding a darker layer, Petar Dundov casts a melodic, yet moody shadow across proceedings. Tougher and intense vibes are order of the day here as the bubbling bass meets the riff thats been accentuated and used to the full here as we are treated to a master class of how to remix a track and make it your own. Its a biggie.
Fellow Peruvian Izakaya Deployment takes on the second remix, and delivers a restrained and beautiful workout, utilising the melodics from the original, and expands creating a wondrous emotive melting pot. A tasty touch up that gels this EP together nicely.

Steven Wilson – Routine
“Amongst the hundreds of songs I have written over the years, ‘Routine’ has a very special place. It’s a deeply sad story of loss and denial, but at its conclusion the clouds lift and there is acceptance at least. Having worked with her on 3 previous videos, I knew as soon as I wrote it that it was perfect for Jess to do something amazing with. Even then nothing prepared me for the organic beauty and power of the film she made, a painstaking labour of love that took her months to produce. When we play the song live I look out into the audience and see people swept away with emotion at the combination of music and animation. To find poetry and beauty in sadness is a wonderful thing I think” – Steven Wilson

Marillion – “Everybody Hurts” (Live R.E.M. Cover Version)
Marillion don’t always do a cover of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts”, but when they do it’s more than perfect.

An Analysis of 80's Music
I recently did an analysis about 80’s music for a client (yes, I do stuff like that). It’s actually a very detailed and vast analysis that took me quite some time for research and putting the results together, but I decided to take out some of the things that I thought would be most interesting for you (and me).
Also, I limit this version of the analysis here to the US American Billboard charts, as the US has by far the biggest market for music on the planet, almost 10 times bigger than the #2 in the game, which would be China. That fact alone is stunning, if you ask me.
Here’s some results:
3 Most Charting Artists (in the Top 100)
1: Madonna (1.6%)
Most successful song: “Like A Virgin” (Keynote: E-Flat minor / Tempo: 120 BPM / high energy)
2: Hall & Oates (1.5%)
Most successful song: “Maneater” (Keynote: B minor / Tempo: 89 BPM / normal energy)
3: Michael Jackson (1.4%)
Most successful song: “Billie Jean” (Keynote: F-Sharp minor / Tempo: 117 BPM / normal energy)
Personal note:
“Billie Jean” is one of the very few songs by Michael Jackson I really like. In fact, I love this one only. It has a perfect groove, perfect songwriting and arrangement. No surprise it was so successful.
I knew Madonna and Michael Jackson would be in the Top 3, but Hall & Oates?? And even higher than MJ, who had the most #1 hits in the Billboard charts in history, by the way? I must have been sleeping under a rock … really surprising.
Energy
Calm music (ballads, downtempo etc.): 20.8%
Typical/normal energy level music: 46.2%
High energy music (dense sound layers, uptempo): 33%
3 Most Used Keynotes
1: A major (8.3%)
2: G major (8%)
3: A minor (7.7%)
That didn’t surprise me really, although I saw G minor on top. Top selling rock acts like Pink Floyd or Dire Straits wrote most of their most successful songs in G major. In the basic Pop music field, it seems like A major dominated.
3 Most Used Words in Titles
1: you (18%)
2: love (14.7%)
3: me (13.7%)
Put that together and you have “You Love Me”. Nice. Yeah, the 80’s were — still — dominated by “love” in combination with “you” and (logically) “me”. I haven’t done research on that now, but I’m sure the most used words don’t look very much different today, apart from “love”. The 80’s were definitely pretty cheesy.
- Average tempo: 116.5 BPM
- Average track length 80’s: exactly 4:00 minutes
- Average track length today: 3:58 minutes
There was a peak in duration in 1992 (4:15 minutes) and a low in 1959 (2:22 minutes). From 1969 on, the duration of songs was steadily rising, until 1992. From there it went down towards 4 minutes again.
