Track of The Day: The 4th Wave - Attention Please (Op-ART)


The 4th Wave, aka Steve Paton, aka Steve Paton, throws together some undulating break beat magic with a very live feel. I suppose its that blend of spontaneity and preprogrammed nirvana that makes this track so unique. It has a distinctly British feel, blending an emotive ambience with a more hard-hitting momentum and is one of many similar pieces that has more than stood the test of time. I would love to know who was the first person in The UK to hear Detroit techno and say “Right. Let’s do something like it, only with a strange kind of pastoral emotional content that could only come from the pagan countryside.” If only any thought process was as easy to nail down.
