i picked up the album where this track was taken from in a secondhand store and i bought it blind. you learn to pick up things blindly after digging in crates and i think this was chosen because it had two remixes listed and that it gave an indication that it was sort of electronic music that i was dealing with.
sure enough it was and it was the type of music that would be called trip-hop but it was just breakbeat stuff in general without the typical dancefloor attire. which was typical for the label (named "recordings under constructions) it came from as well, from the info i gathered up.
i'm guessing it started like a ninja cuts/skam kind of thing, actually dot records or flora & fauna are better reference points, and were on own legs until they joined german label "artellier music". this record maybe is from the latter label period and maybe one of the last records released on the label.
but about the music, "fisherman" and "waiting for the tgv" was tracks i found most pleasing and they were something i could work with in sets in a modern setting. actually most of them could so but they sounded the best. this one is a lowkey track with a steady drumtrack that accentuates the quirky sounds and they very midrangy synth-bass.
however i'm guessing most will hear this track and think: "what the fuck, this track is nothing special" and you are perfectly allowed to think so but i like it.

oh and the video, which i never knew existed until today, is really nice
