during the middle of the noughties soma records pulled out a few singles that was eighties influenced to say the least. singles & remixes from from the labelrosters flagship artists like silicone soul and slam but also ewan pearson that was quite connected to the label, the already quite retro-leaning vector lovers but also my robot friend that was tied to the label for a short while.
the third single from second album "staring into space" was "the poisoner's diary" and featured stuart gray from the band viva stereo on vocals. now that doesn't really matter as i couldn't stand gray's vocal on pearson's remix or silicone soul's original for that matter. this remix was one of my favourite tunes of 2005 and i used to bang it out in each set that it worked in. it came at the right time in my taste of music as i was going through my italo phase at the time.
you would find play beginner's stuff like "the chase", cowley stuff and accessible italo disco with some kick. then eventually i would slide into house and techno material that was either influenced or in that mindset and then work in something like this track. the brilliance lies within the drive of the track and it's synth programming where it used silicone soul's ideas and melodies and shifted them and also gave them some progression.
