this one is yet another track i discovered when i went on a crate dig with my good friends jan henrik & mikael. i found the tiger sushi remixed cd and saw some good names tweaking the original track, which for the record i have not heard until recently.
i already knew of dego's remix of "twice thinking" as i have that on another compilation but being a fan of seiji i was really interested of this one. on the first listen it gave me really good vibe as it starts with vibrant drums which for some reason i keep humming the call & response of nina simone's "see-line woman" over.
i am pretty sure that seiji did not sample those drums from it but simone or someone very similar sounding appears in this track. it was a bit of a shock of hearing that vocal sample come halfway into the track as i kept thinking of "see-line woman" in my head.
seiji takes something that is originally a moody downtempo jazz tune with some quirky rhythmical bits and reshapes it. the bass, the keys and chords are refitted onto powerful drums and it sets the tone from there. it starts of being very percussive but once the bass comes in it takes a more domineering role and i like how both rhythmical elements are really swinging.
the moody nature of the original does reflect itself when the keys and the long stringpads take part of the track and it sort of brings the track down in it's funky nature. however it does make it a more dynamic song and i really love the overall composition of the track.
