i got this track on two compilations; second skin's "skinful volume 4" and om record's "environments". the former was meant as a label compo but they didn't put out the track, but simon richmond (aka boswick gates & palm skin productions did give an exclusive track to it. the latter makes sense as they actually released this track on a sublabel but that compo also included tracks not put out by om.
anyhow this track really had my attention on the first listen since it's a garage track that kicks along proper. starts off with snappy drums and a really groovy bassline which is all you need but then comes the first small drop. the bass gets modulated in a nice thick way and lovely padwash comes in.
it has that rugged feel or pure rhythmical uk bass music but that is very typical of richmond's earlier breakbeat output, but it's melodic side hints on the shift of sound that would happen a few years after. i also have to say the 4x4 version is ok but it's not more than that. i could see myself playing it but i would rather play the original.
