Reed Mathis vividly recalls being haunted by a scene in the film ‘Immortal Beloved’ where Gary Oldman portrays Beethoven sitting at a piano playing a quiet, loss of innocence melody as he comes to terms with experiencing hearing loss. The melody played is the second movement of Piano Sonata No.8 best known as “Pathétique,” Mathis’ personal favorite melody in Beethoven’s vast repertoire. “The Path” by Electric Beethoven uses “Pathétique” as their muse as Mathis envisions a present-times scenario of the 1994 scene reimagined taking place at a country church with the organ reverberating across the lake while frogs chirp as the sun sets. The modern instrumentation and driving beat set the stage for feelings of hope and redemption that are pristinely mixed by Rob Eaton, guitarist of Dark Star Orchestra who has also produced several albums for the iconic jazz guitarist, Pat Metheny.

“Warm Nights” by Lucas de Mulder sets the scene for the summer solstice with bubbling grooves and reggae flavors. De Mulder recalls having “Fancy” by The New Mastersounds on heavy rotation over the course of a particularly hot summer in his hometown of Madrid, Spain, and pulling heavy influence from the spellbinding grooves on that tune. A standout element of the track is the interlocking guitar parts performed by De Mulder and Eddie Roberts. The two engage in a conversational solo section that melodically represents Roberts passing along the torch to new deep funk and boogaloo artists such as De Mulder while he holds court in the production realm. The track also features Chris Spies (keyboards), Nate Edgar (bass), and Alejandro Castano (drums).
