A-SIDE: BLUE MOTION & UNQUOTE - COVERED BY THE DUST Fans of the Russian duo, Subwave will be immediately drawn to the dust. Blue Motion teams up with Unquote for this atmospheric masterpiece. Blissful pads, a catchy electronic riff, and crescendoing bass creates the introduction, before wading into an early break. Intricate drum patterns articulate the center of the track, bringing with it deep, rumbling bass and a simplified female vocal. It's not long before the second break hits, and the track's formula starts again. Try to listen to this one all the way through. You won't be disappointed. B-SIDE: MR. SIZEF - 170 STEPS OF LONELINESS Where do these 170 steps lead? Would the siren in the intro be any indication? As the sweet, pitched-up female vocal rolls through alongside a slightly distorted synth riff, the bass comes flanging in with a galloping sort of feel before all of the elements come together for some great, traditional drum 'n bass. Great use of effects on this one. C-SIDE: MR. SIZEF - LILY IS A FLOWER WHICH IS GIVING RISE TO LOVE Heavy bass and female chant samples accompany a tribal drum style to introduce this beauty. The drums filter in alongside multi-layered pads. A short break rides through right away, but it isn't long before the sophisticated rhythm and chopped up vocal come back around. This tune would make a wonderful set closer. D-SIDE: UNQUOTE - WE BREATHE YOGHURT LYING ON A STRAWBERRY BED One would be curious as to what a track such as this one would sound like. Images and visuals floating through your head as you press play; the airy, angelic pad intro induces you into a trance-like state before soothing piano lines and a pitched-up vocal reminiscent of the early hardcore era takes you away. As the drums come in with a half-time feel, it is easy to imagine Japanese taiko drummers playing their part. Once the break takes hold, a short span of melodic heaven uplifts before the drums take control again.
