One of the stand out tunes from my first year at university. It’s no surprise that it’s William Orbit who is behind it, and that it still sounds so good. It doesn’t seek to overwhelm, like so much did at the time, and feels minimal in its approach. It’s one of those tunes that feels like it got everything just right, even the exotic snake charming noises. A great coming together of what was percolating at the time. Vocals, break beats and proto-Goa trance squelches come correct. ‘Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun’, as well as ‘Dark Side of The Moon’, was enjoying a renaissance at the time, and could be heard across campus. This is a nice update, which pays homage to its influences.
