Track Of The Day: Counterpoint ‎-- Soul Search (Synewave)


Following hot on the heels of 'Lofthouse’ under the Clark pseudonym, ‘Soul Search’ by Counterpoint was, in my humble opinion anyway, the best of a trio of tracks from ‘Jigsaw’, released on Damon Wild’s Synewave. And, as befits a release on said imprint, this goes a bit harder that the Planet E classic. Mark Bell really engages with Mills and Hood on this record, (more so Mills). However, it’s this track, the funkiest of the three, which stands out for me and feels like it’s all Bell’s own work. It bounces along at a good pace and, strangely, seems to eschew bass while giving the impression that it’s bottom heavy. An original take and one which hasn’t been convincingly imitated, yet.
