the future sound of london - glass

i (re)discovered this one when i popped on the dead cities album some while ago and with all the goodness on that album one track stood out and it got stuck in my head instantly. that says a lot with an album filled with quality. because seriously, there is not single bad note on the album.

that repeated note sequence in "glass" is a tease really and you think it's going to be that all the way through since it's building and building. then that weird wonderful bent sound that comes straight out leftfield and then it dies down. and introduces this rhythm that will make you knod your head or move your feet as it's quite dancable.

the beat and it's time signature always puzzles me as it sounds both like a 4/4 and a 6/8. there is enough swing to throw me off and this is what i love about the track as well. the progression is quite natural but i do want a bit more rhythm.
