A piece of timeless vocal house music from A:xux, aka Abacus, aka Austin Bascom, who is truly one of the unsung deep house producers, even if he gets kudos what he gets isn’t enough.And this is fabulous. Atmospheric, soulful, jazzy and powerful. Taken from the film ‘Bagdad Cafe’, but nothing like the original. I’m glad about that because watching that film at the Screen on the Hill in 1987 with Peter Pulford brings back vivid memories ozone of *The* great acid trips. I have no idea where we went after the film, but before it started we went on one of those LSD walks that you do, going past and exploring the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. I mean going into the hospital and walking around it like a couple of weirdos. The film came next and was incredible, the cinema was almost as good as the film, so we had it to fall back on if things got boring, which they didn’t. One of the great acid experiences was had that night. I think it was probably when later we were on the tube and got off at Wood Green to listen to the escalators, which we thought were descending into hell. I have no idea where we ended up, but it was one of those life-defining experiences. I haven’t watched the film again, but coming across this track today has awoken all sorts of memories. All of them good.
