It does sound like a classic TCM track, so it's not surprising people would get that mixed up. It has that same energetic fusion of Breakbeat, Trance and 90s Bigbeat that TCM uses.
don't like his trance much, but he has some of the best ambient and chillout ever and others like this breakbeat,... never heard good breakbeat in my life, but this is great
Seems as if BT was a different man to what he has become. 3 massive albums (I wasn't a big fan of TBU) and then complete plop such as Emotionla Technology and These Hopeful Machines. I pray BT hears my cry. Weh.
@smash4686 This Binary Universe was one of the most intelligent albums I have EVER laid ears on. This guy is known for always trying new things... which just goes to show how awesome he is when he tries something new and totally pwns it.
Yeah... Hopeful Machines couldve been better tho.... more tracks like Suddenly and less like "Love can Kill You" lol
BT's style is so easily identified...if you are old enough to have been partying when this came out, you'll have no trouble telling this apart from TCM's music from the same era.
How can people think anyone but BT did this? Buy the US version of his album "Movement in Still Life", listen to track 10, and then calmly STFU. BT made this song, end of story.
Upon further investigation... Those of us who assumed TCM produced this track MAY have gotten that idea from downloading a torrent discography. I found this track in the "Mixed" folder of a TCM discography. Metadata has no info on the original composer. I bet someone just thought this sounded like TCM and dropped it in there. BT is obviously the original creator.
@Ic3dSh0t Thanks for enjoying the upload. It took me about 10 minutes to find the right one on Google Images. I was scouring until I found the one that I felt best matched the song.
@pivotsforyou The original Smartbomb sounds VERY dated. The Plumps' version is art on entirely more sublime level. Do you have a taste for trip-hop and 1996 "Big-Beat" do you? I'm not knocking BT's original too much, but come on, heroin, valium anybody?
@pivotsforyou Yeah, it's one of the best Big Beat/Trip Hop tunes written. It's soul resides in about the year 1999. Big Beat was already in it's last in '99, but this is a well-written tune. Do you like Crystal Method also? The Method pioneered it, The Plumps and BT perfected it with a few others. This ain't it, though, this is like Brian looking back and doing some retro Big Beat tune. I dunno, I suppose some of us like to look forward (techhouse/dubstep), some of us like to look at what was.
@blacknganga I like the original more simply because BT was a pioneer and that gives the track something a little extra. Plump DJ's where also pioneers don't get me wrong but BT has achieved far more than they ever will. Just look at BT's entire works and you will see what i mean =D
@RaVe4EvR122 BT turned out three "tasteful" tracks that I'm aware of: "Fibonacci Sequence", "Hip Hop Phenomena" and "Ride". If your little heart is set on this here number, good for you, but don't compare BT to The Plumps. Before Breaks took off in '98, dear Brian was turning his hand to some of the cheesiest trance known to mankind. It would be like arguing about the Plumps with your average punter from America; pointless. The Plumps have produced over thirty cutting edge tracks!
@RaVe4EvR122 This here tune is like most "big-beat" and So-Cal tunes before the UK sound took off: dated. Don't get me wrong, I know heaps of people who love to listen to less relevant gear, but it's like thinking the Crystal Method still turned out the goods into the 2000 years; a mistake. Y'all can update yerselves with a healthy dose of TCR, Marine Parade and Fingerlickin'. BT did some outstanding works with the Breaks sound, hopefully he can keep some focus and turn out killer dubstep, etc.
I never got why it seems like he left a bit more on some of the vocals than seems "right". Lol. "Back on the set on the set and coverin' all bets, ha!-da-" O_o? Either way, I love this song. :D
@EthanE3Eves well, that's "POSSIBLE" but highly unlikely. BT is one of those hyper obsessive types that pays attention to every sound fragment down to the 1/60 millisecond. If you can listen closely, he's sampling off of a longer track (Which i don't know, most people don't know, and isn't important to the understand of the song)
@TheHikoriOne Very true! Yeah, he has some incredibly technical songs, you're very correct, so it doesn't make sense that it would be an error of some sort, but it just seemed a bit out of place. I know there's more to the sample, that's why it seems awkward at the point it was cut off. I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing though, he's one of the most talented electronic musicians of our time; electronic or not, he's very talented at what he does and whatever genre he works in.
