Plume £18

131 loops, 59 drum hits, 51 tail samples and 151 MIDI files culled from 12 downtempo electronica tracks (the projects for which are also included in Live or Reason formats). This is the sort of genre in which Mode are most comfortable and proficient, and that expertise shows in the laid-back styling of the drums, calculated fluidity of the basslines, languid synth work and rapturous, delicately uplifting melodic themes. The tail samples aren’t hugely useful, but there’s good value to be found here for any producer of an atmospheric bent. modeaudio.com
