Losing my girlfriend in 1998 due to my massive meth addiction and taking her for everything she was (didnt mean to) , when my friend played this in his dim lit store of large antiques in the late hours of the night, I felt like this was her words to me............. this song will always take me back to then. Horrible to lose someone you love because of a ridiculous problem. All different now, but wow, music can put you there.
GF wandered off with a younger guy after 10 years, This got played for about 2 years!!!! then turned it all around, Always, always move on and take the music with you.
Honestly this surpasses the Missing Todd Terry mix that made them a smash success. I think they pulled off this style all on their own and this song really proves that.
Listened to this album on a loop at home and on my discman the year it was released. Was a fan of ebtg since Idlewild and their change in sound partially mirrored my own evolution and maturing of musical taste. It’s such a revelation to suddenly be drawn to clubbing later in your youth (‘cos you were too young and stuck in the Australian Outback in ‘89), discovering a latent love of House and Drum n’ Bass music finding its natural energetic outlet. Have been listening to the band’s back catalogue as Sydney comes out of a 3 month lockdown and I’m reminded of that time in the 90s and 00s when I went from being an adolescent to a young man. I’m so glad to have had ebtg’s music there as part of the soundtrack to my growing up and it still resonates with me decades later. 👍🏻✨
just caught-up with the 18/4/96 Top of the Pops rerun* and they performed this in the studio; had forgotten how brilliant it was/is and sang along (as best i could) *11 days left on iplayer...
I love this song. It’s crazy I just found it a few months ago but felt like I heard it when I was younger. This song will forever be in my playlist. Trip hop is so underrated I love it 🙌🏽
