One from Gerald Mitchell, aka The Deacon, etc. This track is a lush piece of melodic, Detroit techno that samples Juan Atkins’ ‘The Cosmic Courier’ and is one of Mitchell’s best. While trying to steer away from cliches can be difficult, this composition is a deep, soulful, uplifiting, and relatively sparse piece of work that exudes positivity (is that enough adjectives?). Looking back on a lot of these Detroit standards however, and this one is a typical example, I find them to be a little too pacey and, consequently, too short. Maybe it’s my age, but tone down the bpms ever so slightly, insert some other-worldy variation, and lengthen by a couple of minutes. Lovely stuff, but feels like it’s over before it’s really got going.
