The title refers to the use of everyday technological advancements to achieve what were once<br \/>\nonly dreams or visions of past generations, making this an explorative concept album that is equal parts<br \/>\nnot-too-distant science fiction, and about as topical as it gets.<br \/>\nFrom the gorgeous opening string layers of \u201cThe Pull of Time\u201d to the classy 4\/4 grooves of \u201cBegin Again\u201d<br \/>\nor lead single \u201cGuiding Me\u201d, into the apropos and angular sci-fi broken beat feels of \u201cParallax\u201d and \u201cThe<br \/>\nColor of Static\u201d, fitting Detroit-influenced love taps like \u201cBeacon\u201d and \u201cThe Mycorrhizal Network\u201d, the<br \/>\npolitically-inspired \u201cAre We Not Above It?\u201d referencing the lingering effects of colonization featuring NiQ<br \/>\nE from South Africa on vocals and L_cio from Brazil on flute, through to the futurist pop elegance of the<br \/>\ndreamy duet recorded with Alexey Kochetkov \u201cI Need You\u201d and the conclusive titular track, it is clear<br \/>\nthat both the in-depth concept and immaculately-crafted musical content in Portable\u2019s inimitable style<br \/>\nare balanced in significance and expressive effect. This also functions as a timely statement in itself, as<br \/>\ntoday\u2019s iceberg-tip evolution of AI technology is currently impending over the arts and many of our<br \/>\nexisting realities.<br \/>\nThis ten-song album serves as an imaginative yet hyperrealist narrative on how humanity\u2019s fascination<br \/>\nwith and reliance on ever-advancing technology defines the times we find ourselves in, while the skillful<br \/>\nsonic displays and present-era production techniques along with Abraham\u2019s knack for timeless emotive<br \/>\nsongwriting offer up this solid soundtrack for the ages.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":568011,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[12538,8018],"product_tag":[32264,40162],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[17535],"musiclabel":[24682],"musicstyle":[37914,37955],"distributormusic":[10823],"musicyear":[39510],"musiccountry":[39485],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-568074","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-arrivals","7":"product_cat-back-in-stock","8":"product_tag-discogs","9":"product_tag-wavo-v2","10":"musicartist-portable","11":"musiclabel-circus-company","12":"musicstyle-deep-house","13":"musicstyle-house","14":"distributormusic-wordandsound","15":"musicyear-39510","16":"musiccountry-france","18":"first","19":"instock","20":"featured","21":"taxable","22":"shipping-taxable","23":"purchasable","24":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/568074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=568074"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=568074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
