Review by BaxterParkSunbather Mar 10, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This band are probably remebered for their more uptempo tracks like Texaas Cowbaoy and Swamp Thing ...although these tracks are top notch, they pale into insignificance when compared to this Legendary track...it definately reeks of the "Balearic Sound" of the late 80's early 90's....it does have comparisions with Bocca Juniors-Raise and A Man Called Adam-Barefoot...it sits at about 110 bpm..deep bassline ...husky female vocal that sounds like she is whispering sweet nothings.."Floating on the Land..Floating in the Sea..take my hand ..and come with me"....then to top it off it has a lazy flute that is the icing on the cake...it has probably been on every Ibiza compilation going ...but who give a toss it's still a shining example of Mr Weatherall excellent production and his knack of turning good tracks into timeless anthems...
