Last Magpie - World (Sounds Good Sounds)

 


Title: World

Artist: Last Magpie

Label: Sounds Good Sounds

Cat Number: SGS006

Genre: Deep House


1: World

2: World (Epic Mix)

3: World (Echosystem Remix)


Welcome to Last Magpie’s ‘World’, where persistent, shuffling, but low key beats provide the platform for slightly distorted, vocals intoning and repeating. Rarely getting out of second gear and, consequently, leaving you hanging on every syllable. That’s the original version and, for me, the best here. The ‘Epic Mix’ feels more like a DJ tool, the Elizabeth Fraser – like vocal being isolated as well as other sounds and devices, but no beats. The Echosystem remix is break beat centred and goes down the solemn route. I mean the original’s not exactly happy, but hedges its bets more and feels more inventive.
