Do you remember the first time?The softly stirring visual accompaniment to Erol Alkan's debut solo 'Illumination EP' was directed by Daniel Brereton, conceived based on his own life-changing experience of raving in the Lake District in the UK, where he was raised.Sidestepping cliche and excess, the now iconic video for 'A Hold On Love' instead finds understatement and bittersweet melancholy in the most powerful memories, contrasting a subtitled story with the area's stunning natural beauty. Ten years on, the video has been remastered in HD and is now available to stream.

エロル・アルカンのデビュー・ソロ「Illumination EP」の優しく心を揺さぶるビジュアル伴奏は、ダニエル・ブレレトンが監督し、彼が育ったイギリスの湖水地方でのレイビングという人生を変えるような自身の経験に基づいて考案されました。決まり文句や過剰さを回避し、今や象徴的な「A Hold On Love」のビデオは、その代わりに最も力強い思い出の中に控えめな表現とほろ苦い憂鬱を見出し、字幕付きのストーリーとこの地域の驚くべき自然の美しさを対比させている。 10 年が経ち、ビデオは HD でリマスターされ、上でもう一度視聴できるようになりました。
