If you want an example of mid-90s liquid this is it; lush, warm and beautiful. Not claustrophobic like today’s 4-minute ‘slam bam’ drum & bass tracks. It has a nice sense of pace. Nothing sounds rushed, which is a homage to late 70s jazz funk. To me this is their finest moment. The thing here is the breakdown. Complex chords change, filled with atmospherics and probably the best use of a female vocal of all the intelligent d&b from that golden age. On par with the wonderful ‘Being With You’ by Foul Play. Much lauded yet still underrated.
