after a (very) tough couple of months i have finally managed to finish a tune.

this thing went through about eight different versions before i finally settled on this one.

i hope you enjoy it.

I love this piece Neil. Very imaginative layering and arranging... I think you finally found the right one! Smile The groove slides in a really interesting way and the underneath layers have a wonderfully magical quality to them. Oustanding contrasts, which always treat the ear.

thank you Matt Smile

the first version was around nine minutes and i just kept chipping away... subtractive composing i suppose.

thanks for listening Smile

this is a really choice composition and mix. it reminds me of a rave; as though it's the 'change of pace' tune, in between a couple of more 'straight-ahead' pieces.

this is the tune where you'd see the really interesting dance moves; out on the floor.

anyway... yada yada... it sounds really good.

Nice track, Neil. I like the combination of that heavy, dark, almost tribal-sounding rhythm section with those vocal chords. That sounds really thick. The more relaxed sections serve to emphasise the power of those beats Cool

thanks for listening guys Smile

i do like the idea of making people dance weirdly. probably because i can't dance myself Laughing

those vocal/choral parts are a layered up mopho. it took me a while to stop it dominating the mix but i think i got there in the end.

i'm glad you enjoyed it Smile
