this one i heard first a few years ago, it was at the time when i discovered blu mar ten was making house and broken beats and not just jungle. they released a couple of records on exceptional and a few other labels. i believe they were unhappy with the situation at good looking.
it's a semi-mashup or just a track that uses two huge chunks from other tracks. it uses the first two bars of thin lizzy's "waiting for an alibi" as it's main groove and takes a verse and the hook from the carpenters' version of "tryin' to get the feeling again".
it sits in this juxtapose because it's at a tempo that i don't know who other than well gilles peterson could work it. i've played it but pitched down since i don't like how it sounds pitched up to d&b speeds and even then, nothing seems to work with it. it sounds weird speeded up since the carpenters sample is already pitched up with pitchshifting and chipmonking the vocals even more doesn't work with the groove.

bmt initially released this one on their own label 'deep structures' but they later revisited their track for their 2007 album on exceptional called black water. this strips away the samples and replays but not faithfully. it's a whole different groove and feeling from the locked up nature of the original. i like it as well but i like the original version more.
