three drives - do you trust me?

chances are that i heard of this through jan henrik as he pointed out that "cruise ship", the b-side to three drives' 2004 single "air traffic" was far more interesting than the title track. "do you trust me" may have been in discussion as well when he pointed this out but eventually i did hear it and liked it a lot. if it's better than the a-side that is "sunset on ibiza" i can't really say as i like both of them but i have gone weary of it as there are better versions of it like sonorous remix and above & beyond's remix.

when i heard "do you trust me" i saw it's appeal and potential as it was something to use when simmering down a set. it's groove consists of the kind of rhythm & sounds that you might recognize from "greece 2000" and all the of the three drives tracks from that era, the sort of uptempo balearic trance. most notable for this track is the heavily phased drumloops that is being worked throughout the track along with these really long lazy pads.

yet again i write about a summery track smack dab of winter when it's less than minus 10 degrees celsius outside. i'll defend it with that the sun is set high in the sky and shining every so brightly. the worst kind of sunshine as you are still getting the sensation of needles being rammed into your skin repeatedly thanks to the cold. you think that it's going to be a glorious day but the sun is playing tricks on you with a nelson muntz like "ha ha" being echoed into your head every time you look up and think "some help with this weather please?".
