Better late than never
with this one, and I do like tracks which start as they mean to go on. The
original version gets into its seedy, acid hoedown immediately. It’s well-paced
and flows, never feeling like it’s pushing against any ulterior forces. Mike
Servito distils the original’s essence, and eschews the 303 in favour of a
squiggly, funky bass line adorned with slightly more extra-terrestrial
outpourings. Gunnar Haslam reduces things further, until we’re left with a
skeletal reinterpretation, which is all sharp edges high frequencies coming
full circle back to the acid. All three, while treading a similar sonic line,
are very much worth your while.
