Beautiful feel. Much better than his post 90's tunes, or virtually anybodies post 90's tunes for that matter LOL.

I hope the pads were his idea and keyboard-work, and not just a sample CD job, cos they bring the track to life proper, you get taken away.

I can't help it, but I'm sometimes disappointed when I learn that a particular melody or sound was actually sampled instead of built from the ground up. I don't know if that's silly or not, but... meh.

Ha ha now thats the talk of a pair of producers :) I too have read about some disappointing sampling. However there are many ways you can see it. If a track is a complete sample job, thats no worse than using a load of 'clean' presets from VSTs etc. If the artist has crate digged and found a sample that is reiterpreted creatively then I dont mind as much. Given the latter would involve more work. Fair comments though and I miss the Golden era too. Try artists like Paradox, Seba, Solar, Nucleus.

I'm with you on that.

Brilliant build up to the song... how it finishes is intense... one of my fav DnB songs period...

Word. I get goosebumps when the vocals slip in near the end.

This tune is eternal.

I remember reading an interview with him around the time this came out, he said all he listened too then was Sade. Shows, in a good way. One of those producers that just sort of lost ground, he had a nice notion of form and sound that few people do, in any genre. Oh, and his drums and bass were always spot on. I wish he had made more of this style and 'final approach'.

been searching a month or so for this song, and when the vocals finally start at 4:16 its epic!

[MykraDnB]

This a GEM.

[dazzlet666]

the problems drum and bass face today is.... no body works on beats anymore.. its all about wobble wobble rahhhhhhhh.. fuck that.. we need some well thought out break patterns and percussion . listen to the drums on this track.. fantastic!! better than same old two step shit we hear on 99% of tracks these days

i find it implausible that 5 people could genuinely dislike this.

Even if the sample is straight outta cd, it takes a lot of vision to use it to such depths. Really before u start making music you think, 'oh its a sample, easy...' but truth is doesnt matter how good a sample is, youve got to make it yours, and create a track. Especially in a tune like this
