sylver - livin' my life (filterheadz dub)

this one i discovered a few months after it was released and there was a slight buzz about it. i think filterheadz was quite hyped up at the time and was alternating techy works with more progressive stuff but the theme conveyed in most of the tracks was the tribal groove.

eventually that schtick got quite overplayed when they kept using the same loops in all of their productions. i got quite bored with their productions after that and i really have no clue on what they are doing now and really don't care.

their version of "livin' my life" was obviously meant to be the alternative to the more commercial original. they took the chord progression, a few vocal bits and rest was chucked in the bin. instead they built up this smooth track with it's base being all of these reversed effects.

then the bassline kicks in and the groove is built upon and it eventually goes into a guitar-sounding lead. it's a lovely piece of music and i got reintroduced to it a while ago when i was going through some prog-tunes that i liked. i think i would have to edit it a bit to play it in a set but i'd definitely work it any day.
