The lushest track of the seminal ‘Lofthouse’ double 12”, which came out in 1995 and still sounds super fresh. This was one of Bell’s first forays outside LFO and it didn’t disappoint. The seven tracks were all floor focussed, offering the chance to dance at varying levels of intensity, and this particular composition is possibly the most sophisticated. It’s a piece that’s very typical of the brand of techno the UK artists really excelled at during this period. Taking its cues from Detroit, but using them to create a self-supporting sonic ecosystem all of its very own, ‘Christo’ is beautiful in its fragility and conjures up images of imaginary distant worlds, as well as those which really exist within us all. It’s still very danceable though, and has that sunrise vibe in spades.
