The title track, in original form at least, maintains a real kitchen sink approach, not least because of its sporadic and fully-charged first few minutes where the listener is left wondering just when it’s all going to subside a bit. But when the dramatic sweeps barge in, it’s clear that it’s all part of a carefully executed plan. A difficult track to pigeonhole, it’s just a great track that’s full of drama, poise and diversity from the offset.
Betoko’s approach to the original is one that’s far more stripped back than we anticipated. Leaning on only a smidgen of the original, he uses the synths to build up a frenzied atmosphere, while the rest of the zippy vibes only add to the overall ambiance. Top draw stuff from everyone involved here.
