mj cole - sincere (black science house ride)

i think for this song i never heard the original first but the miguel migs remix since i was quite a fan of him when i was getting into the naked music sound. i quite enjoy migs version still but this tune has quite a few remixes and for the regular four on the floor ones i found that the most interesting ones came from when "sincere" was getting it's moment in the sun.

i bought the cdsingle on club tools which had the original versions, the birth of cool mix from german producer lars behrenroth (who did a great funky latin inspired version) and the black science orchestra mixes. beedle and his companions kept the vocal but redid the bass in a radical way. it's heavier and it wants to pull you down to the ground in a really good way.

there is a whole lot of the usual keyboard goodness that uschi classen adds on black science orchestra tracks. her solo spot in the middle of the track provide a good contrast to the strip down that follows where the bass gets even heavier if my ears aren't deceiving me.

the track follows a structure of a small build before taking it down again and then building and building. right where you get a wonderful coda with trumpet stabs, keyboard noodling, trombone hits and repeated chops of the vocal, it just all ends right when it's the heaviest. 

now to be honest i think jazzanova's remix is much more classier but i think this one rates highest in all the versions of "sincere".
