Sure, any artist can do wtf they want - but they obviously can't make people like it!!
I just find it hard to understand how a guy works so hard to shape his own sound through the '90's, which most dnb headz totally respect...and then compromise it for something which sounds totally basic & unskilled next to it?!
Just my opinion, sorry if someone out there thinks this tune is the balls, or whatever!!
@dazzlet666 know what you mean ive been struggling to get in to the new photek stuff, then again i said that about solaris, and i love that album now.
This tune proves that just because you used to be brilliant doesn't mean it will last for ever. Photek realised that practically inventing D&B didnt pay the bills so he went to the US and the mainstream. Judging by the shit thats around today he had it spot on with this "sounds like it was made in 5 mins" tune. The beats are so shit the label should read " I can't believe it's Photek".
No offence to any of you guys from the states but since photek has been over there his music has really suffered this is so bad im embarrsed for the guy if you had played this back in the day & said it was a photek track you surely would have been laughed at.. Mr Parkes get yourself back to the U.K. & produce music from your heart & soul pleeease !!
I'm from the states, and man, I picked up the Modus Operandi album when I was like 12 years old. I loved the old sound he had, especially when he was working under the Special Forces name (I still have Babylon single on vinyl), but his new work is him trying too hard to go mainstream. This new track sounds like a hackjob attempt to sound like Pendulum, and honestly, it makes me sad.
I guess I'm one of the few that really knows about the old Photek state side.
@b0rder79 idk dude maybe this is from his heart and soul. im sure he has his reasons for the way he wants to sound i mean shit, it is his music man. i still respect the guy for all the fun i had blasting it. things change. look at the beatles.
@manman246 call me what you like on here mate i really couldnt give a shit, im certain you wouldnt have the balls to say it to my face & as for being new to this shit well im 32 & been into electronic music scene in the u.k. since 1991 so if that makes me a newcomer then please, go ahead & teach me a lesson lol
When I listen this, cold waves usually rush thru. Photek rocks, but what is good usually shines moment, until it fades in time...when its found again.

the Planet of the Drums closed with it in dc friday night at club 24 -- it was fatally mesmerizing, it totally slayed and left the floor in shreds.

He said "THE" total shit, i.e. "the shit" i.e. good, not "this song is total shit," which would mean bad. Obviously some people have got confused :S
