Reviews & Discussion
One of those great 12" gems. Both sides are equal in quality.
"Despatch #1"
The deep drones that float in and out are an excellent backdrop to the busy, yet funky breaks. The entire track has a certain "air" about it. Sparse in melody, but in the best way.
"Despatch #2"
Constantly moving with many sides to it. Warm subs and strong beats are accompanied by ghostly pads and fragments of distant pianos. A truly progressive track with a rather unconventional structure. Repeated listening is a must.

When I first heared this 12" in a cologne catacomb venue when DJ Bleed (actual part-owner of germany's DE:BUG magazine) dropped it, it made me smile and dance. I wish DnB would come back to this complexity, sexiness and flow. Way Ahead of its time. Goes well with anything from the Certificate 18 Catalogue.
