About this item

File Under: Deep Downtempo / Cosmic Throb / Sensitive Soft Rock

It’s a strange world we’re living in and these addictive cuts mirror it well.
Dancing all night in cheerful melancholy with two strictly limited edits.

The A-side renders gothic synth pop at cruising tempo, spinning a web of tape delay as your mind unravels. A bassline throbs, pistons hiss and a paranoia takes hold of an icy vocal. Lose yourself in the otherwhere.

We step into a pristine wilderness on the B-side, stately pads gliding over a supple rhythm section while tender chimes tug at your heartstrings. Emotion abounds on an instrumental which never was. Big boys do cry, and this dove’s weeping over broken wings…

101 was gone within 2 weeks. Just sayin’ ...

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: WDC101 was a staple on the shop player and I'm sure its successor will be a firm favourite of ours too. If side A is your perfect start to the night (I'm thinking slowly wobbling on to the (imaginative) dance floor...), side B is the perfect ending. Top marks again!
