"Idealism" is a gorgeous labor of love that will thrill diehard Daniel Wang and Balihu fans and undoubtedly open up a new album-oriented audience to his work. As with all Daniel Wang (and Environ) releases, it's about the details: from the radical re-working of his rare 12" tracks to the mastering by Don Grossinger (Salsoul, West End). Opening up with the spectacular vocoded intro of "Let's Go To Mars," the album stays in touch with Daniel's fascination with the dancefloor and dubbed-out funk, disco and jazz. Rare tracks like "Rings of Saturn" (of which only 150 white labels were distributed to DJs) and brand-new gems such as "Ambiguity" showcase the spaced, sweaty pulses that made his unique 12"s into club DJ's crate classics. However, the acid-reggae epic "Islands" or his sci-fi Theremin cover of the jazz standard "Misty" makes this an ideal headphone listening album as well.
