this was part of a '09 crate dig and i didn't know of it before but i was well familiar with the players in mind. i think i was on a fairly large ashley beedle kick at the time but i liked the aloof as well so it was a sure cop. the cd-single was for "wish you were here" and included an edit, an ashley beedle remix of that and two remixes of album track "bittersweet" also done by beedle.
the more traditional of beedles versions, named the house mix, is a garage-y rerub with proper mix-in & mixout and i do like it but the other take is far more interesting. the domestic mix was shaped more like a traditional song and it really made me fall in love the track.
the original had a dancefloor thinking but had a strong dub influence and beedle took away the latter for his versions. on this one he replaced it with a deeper broken beat feel and i've mentioned before that in most respects i get more excited by broken beats than four on the floor.
this one has the combination of very vibrant drums, a great bassline and uschi classens keys that come in a little bit in the first half but is given a near solo part on the second half. the latter part of the track also has a lovely string/pad arrangement that first builds tension well but also closes the track on it's second appearance.
beedle and company did amazing work on this track and i really love this track. well recommended
