TRACK REVIEW: Steve Luck – Coasting

Steve Luck is an award-winning modern classical composer from Newcastle with over a hundred project credits to his name. He describes his newest single Coasting as an invitation to slow down and enjoy the peacefulness of everything going right.

A fine flight of fancy in this economy, but there is a quality to this piano piece that stimulates the imagination, whisking us off to a fantasy land as arable and innocent as a Miyazaki movie. Slow arpeggios conjure holidays by the sea, placing the suspicion of a double meaning to the title, as a wistful melody picks at the lock of a memory box from a simpler, pre-George Osbourne time. A soundtrack for scenes of nostalgia and ice cream.
