Two absolutely incredible tracks.

I have a weird release - a white label of EVO07 wihtout the Warp catalogue number etched into it either. I doubt its a Warp white because of this fact so possibly Tom and Mark had promo'd it before on Evo or something...?

I've got this. Very good old, lush chord styled d'n'b. The C&JS remix creates some more abstract beats whereas the originals are more DJ'able. Pretty lush. I was amazed by it when it came out but it might sound a bit dated now. Possibly.

The Ae mix is another incredible track. I prefer it to Tom/Marks "Oooh - this is on Mo'Wax so we need a trip-hip and/or d'n'b remix". But Tom/Marks remixes are both pretty good.

Yeah. If you don't like _New York_ you won't like this.

Yeah, really good. Done by Mark and Kirsty his girlfriend who used to be in Opus 3. My promo is really noisy so I bought an artworked copy as well.

_Soaring_ is a beautiful slow(ish) Detroit techno track. The 'soaring' bit describes the chords which erm, do. A beautiful melody pops in later over some understated 303 burbles. Simple effective track. The two versions of _Rhodes_ differ in the time signature - both are warm but slow with subtle breakbeats and those deep GC basslines and cute, melancholy melodies. Excellent 12" - I have a promo with the black and white ULP/Evo logo on one side. || [CiM] || cim_@hotmail.com || - ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
