"minor villain" was the result of a one-off project between latin jazz pianist chris kibble and bassist gordon "gogsey" smith and the original shows both of their instruments alive and kicking. set to swinging drums it sounds like a somewhat structured jam and i fell in love with it when i heard it on ron trent's deep & sexy mix for francios k's wave music.
i had problems playing the original as it was too musical and vibrant for the kind of house sets i was playing at this time. the solution to my issue became to play the broken mix instead as i started getting into broken beat at the time. i still sucked at mixing it and i still geared towards the rougher london stylings but it worked on occasions.
this version uses the piano in sampled and effected form as the main riff is worked for the most part. the bass is more audible as it's not being overshadowed by shuffling cymbals and a piano going at it. there is also more experimentation as i like how the drums have been cut up and the use of effects on most of the sounds. it works for an epic closing track as the coda is beautiful beyond belief.
