Hernan Cattaneo - "Excellent!!"

Markus Schulz - "Love it!"

Simon Garcia - (Simon & Shaker) - "Original is a real beauty, and the Henry Saiz remix is a progressive monster! Great work guys."

Glenn Morrison - "Great release thanks for this."

Armin Van Buuren - "This is niceeee!"

Axwell - "I like both!!"

Guy J - "Both Original and Henry Remix for me , great stuff , good luck!"

Behrouz - "Like both the Original and Henry S rmx."

Kosmas Epsilon - "Original is just awesome!!"

Jerome Isma-ae - "Great! Full support!!"

James Talk - "Orig is nice!"

Steve Smart - (Kiss FM) - "Awesome piece of music. instant classic production."

Simon Jones - (Progressive-sounds) - "Future Perfect is without question one of the leading tracks from the album 'We Love Machine', a carefully crafted dancefloor piece which looks destined to become a classic. As such it's aptly named. Improving on this was never going to be an easy task but after remixing artists that include Bedrock, Sasha, Tiesto, Guy J and Jim Rivers, Henry Saiz once again proves why he is one of this year's hottest properties with another superb remix."

InTheMix review of We Love Machine

2009-10-26T16:24:00.002Z

Inthemix.com.au have given us a lovely review, and made We Love Machine album of the week!
You can get your copy at WayOutWest.mu in a variety of formats including a deluxe signed edition, and choose from mp3 / apple lossless / flac!

The Review:

If you make your fans endure a five-year wait for a new album, you'd sure as hell better come back with something pretty special, but that's exactly what Way Out West have done with We Love Machine. It's a title that's fairly literal in this case, as it's a concept album of sorts – the direct result of duo Nick Warren and Jodi Wisternoff's love affair with old-school analogue music machinery, which saw them investing heavily in vintage synths and spending nearly $100K perfecting their studio while they were putting the album together (described as “staggeringly good” by Warren when chatting to ITM earlier this year). They even purchased one of only several hand-built synthesizers ever made from an enthusiast in Scotland, which is
apparently as big as a car. The Chemical Brothers took one, Vangelis purchased another and Way Out West decided they needed one too, and they say it was responsible for creating some of the amazing sounds on this album.

The irony then, if We Love Machine has such an 'analogue' focus, is how polished and hi-tech it all sounds. This would have a lot to do with the fact they also strived to unite all this old-school
equipment with the latest studio technology, soft synths and computers, giving the pair access to the bevy of instruments in their studio at the touch of a button. They've also pointed to the psychedelic soundscapes of Cosmic Disco as a big influence, the sound that emerged out of Norway a few years ago from producers like Lindstrom and Prins Thomas, and those spacey Scandinavian soundscapes are definitely present here. Combine this with the brilliant musicality they've developed after more than a decade of working together, and we've got what is easily Way Out West's best and most fully realised album to date.

My first exposure to We Love Machine was back in June, when Armin van Buuren of all people featured Ultra Violet in the opening half hour of his Essential Mix (Armin's Armada
stable is actually distributing the album throughout Europe,). My first thought at hearing the tune's lush analogue chords and achingly nostalgic vibes was, “what the fuck is that?” The rolling
basslines suck you in, and the angelic choral synths that kick in partway through lead you into one of the most spectacular breakdowns you'll hear all year. And it sets the tone for the rest of the album; there's just something special about the way the different sounds hold together. There's so much psychedelic detail here, but it all gels so coherently. More important though is the raw emotion that seeps right through everything that you hear.

There's a range of tempos on We Love Machine, which is one of the reasons it feels like such a “complete” album. You've got the more chilled, ethereal stuff we've heard from Way Out West in the past, that mostly defined albums like Don't Look Now and Intensify, but overall it's their most club-ready release to date with at least eight or so of the tracks primed and ready for the dancefloor. Future Perfect flows like the most blissful slice of prog house you'll ever hear in a
Nick Warren set, rolling along idyllically until they take it up a notch with a surprise burst of melody several minutes in. Pleasure Control and Surrender are similar-such tunes that you can expect to hear in both of their DJ sets, and Survival has what I'll class as one of the best male vocals ever heard in a dance tune. Heartfelt and gorgeous without being sickly sweet.

Whether you're listening to the album's slower, downtempo moments, or the songs that feature the higher BPMs, the thematic drive of We Love Machine carries through at all times. The psychadelia permeates to the core of what's happening here; all the swirly synths and trippy soundscapes, there's so much subtle detail but it's drawn flawlessly by the superb production. And rather than being a bleepy, difficult piece of electronic music, the emotion is present at all times, often in a way that you can't quite put your finger on.

It's like this machine is a living, breathing organism that you quickly grow to love, and musically, it's so perfectly realised that it leaves their old work in the shadows; and that's saying a lot. We Love Machine is beautiful electronic music pure and simple, and it's one of the best dance albums of the year. We love Way Out West.

New album done & dusted

2009-03-20T15:42:00.002Z

Finally! Here is an interview with Nick from InTheMix ahead of his forthcoming Australia tour:

"It’s been in the works for a lengthy four years, but last week inthemix spoke on the phone with Global Underground regular Nick Warren who confirmed that Way Out West, the dance duo that he operates alongside production partner Jody Wisternoff, have just put the finishing touches on their brand new album.

“We finished the Way Out West album today, so all is rosy over in Bristol,” Warren told ITM on Friday morning. He says they’re extremely pleased with the results, and that it’s their best effort so far by a mile. “It’s a slight change of tact for us. We’ve been very influenced by the whole ‘Cosmic Disco’ thing in Europe, guys like Lindstrøm from Scandanavia… It’s only male vocals on this album, but it ranges from zero BPM up until 130BPM. It’s almost like Pet Shop Boys making a very cool underground record.”

Expect a long-player that’s very much in touch with Warren and Wisternoff’s clubbing roots. “There’s gonna be around 14 tracks on the album, and seven or eight of them are club based. So it’s still very much of a club-based, electronica album.” "

Future Perfect

2009-03-02T16:37:00.004Z

Here then is the promo for the forthcoming new track by us called "Future Perfect" filmed at Nick's Twisted Audio show. We hope you like it please let us know

There’ll be a Youtube promo up of one of the tracks in the next couple of weeks so we’ll let you know once it’s ready to go. The footage will be filmed at Nick’s show at Babalou Brixton on the 7^th Feb.

Happy New Year to you all. We did say we’d have the album mixed down by now but after a couple of false starts elsewhere we’ve bought a pair of these beauties, Adam A7 speakers to get the sound we were aiming for elsewhere but didn’t get and are doing the mix downs at our own place instead.

Hello Everyone

2008-11-13T16:33:00.003Z

Hi Everyone, we're just putting the finishing touches to the untitled "Album 4" so thought we'd start a blog about it as we move towards getting it finished and setting up Soundsystem shows for 2009.

We've been working with a couple of new vocalists, Tom from Caged Baby and a guy called Jonathan Mendelsohn out of New York and we spent a lot of time and money on original '80s synths like the Prophet 5, Jupiter 8 and the Octave Kitten and got a couple of monsters built like the Macbeth M5N just to really keep our sound moving along. If you even care what one of those is you’ll already know what it looks like but we’ve attached a pic anyway. More as it happens, we're hoping to do final mix downs in the next few weeks and decide on which tracks make the final album.

If you want to see us this year we only have one show left at Matter in the 02 Arena http://www.matterlondon.com/ on the 29th with James Zabiela. If you want to check our individual dj dates then we're always out and about and you can find out here jodywisternoff.com and djnickwarren.com.
