An oldie but goodie. This comes off the first of two legendary live sets that DJ Food and DK did for Solid Steel, “Now, Listen!” Live, mind you. The EQ seems a little strange at first, but when The Cinematic Orchestra’s bass line dips low at 0:33, it all makes sense. This is an all time classic Jeru flow, smoothly contextualized here. But the best part of this track, in my mind, is the last minute or so. Around 2:45, everything fades into the oh so jazzy “Beached” by Neotropic, only to drop back the Orchestra’s drums at 3:26 for a crushing, tantalizingly brief ride out. The crude fade at the end comes courtesy of Mister Track; apologies in advance.
