Apart from anything else, it’s the piano that drives this track along. Which is great because even though it’s pervasive, it doesn’t seem to dominate. Maybe that’s because it mutates throughout. The real genius of this tune though is the shimmering, explosion of sound that periodically sends sonic ripples along the avenues of your mind. It’s featured on Jose Padilla’s Essential Mix and, as such, secures immortality. A little push to guarantee exposure if, as can so often happen, it slid under the radar. There were a lot of tracks similar to this that emerged a little later, in the mid to late nineties. I know because my one time DJ partner used to play them out a lot and we wallowed in their achingly hip jazzy ambience. They were halcyon days and they might be coming back.
