9 tracks. Running time 55:02 Following up from his last album Paradigm Liam Mayron has put the title of this together with his latest album Shift to make a term applied to science and other aspects of life. Like its predecessor this one is difficult to pigneonhole into one genre; besides electronica it also contains elements of post or soft rock. Like many musicians Liam seems to be making music in his spare time rather than as a full time profession and this is reflected in the production quality which although good isn't of the level found from some of the bigger artists or those releasing on well respected labels. High pitched shimmying tones lead into a sparing piano melody and blistering yet restrained electric guitar riffs in the opening track “Panorama”. Bass, hi-hat, and later a syncopated simple melody then burst into the mix to make this a foot-tapping number. Guitar and drums (or drum effects) crop up in several of the tracks. In “Chamber” a rhythm or bass guitar delivers a lazy melody against hi-hat percussion, some drums, and electronics plus piano occasionally add simple refrains. Most of this album is generally upbeat in tempo, sometimes getting a little funky as in “Horizon”. Beginning with lovely crystalline synth washes it then bursts into a passage one might describe as smooth jazz. Bringing everything to a close is another funky piece called “Nimbus”. Again with pacey rhythms and some squiggly melodies, and a slower interlude in the middle, it's exciting and fun in a not out of control manner. It's good to see independent artists who don't make a fortune (or even a living!) out of their music releasing new work. Shift is in my view better than Paradigm and a reasonably enjoyable album even if it's not likely to make it into my “wanna play it over and over again” pile.
