i saw this single a few years back and it wasn't really the type of cdsingle i would buy, even though i knew damn well who martina topley-bird was. she has a great voice and i like quite a lot of the music that she's outputted but frankly when i looking into bins after singles, i do want to have a number of remixes on it. "need one" is a three tracker with the main track at hand, a single specific b-side and a remix.
fabien waltham's name wasn't known for me until i remembered that he had a remix under his belt of madonna's "the power of good-bye" that was brilliant. it was drum & bass and even though i saw his name along with topley-bird on the credit list of production of the original track, i was still expecting drum & bass. sadly this was not the case but it was a great version where the track has been grittied up.
but i am a sucker for a good bassline and some dreamy atmosphere, basically anything shoegazy without taking it to wanky territories. "hours away" is a great song and the vocal arrangement and the reverbed out sounds has been enjoyed from my side. sometimes taking a gamble on a single pays off even it's not what you expected.
