Le Mystere - On The Beat

If one record should be a true competitor for my alltime favourite tune this should be a close call. One of the most prolific producers from the Belgian Dance AND rock scene with his chef d'oeuvre. After a life as a bassplayer in Belgiums most out there rock group of all time 'Tc Matic' and giving them one of the all time Belgian Anthems "Olala", Ferre Baelen reinvented himself as an electronics prodigy. Making big waves in EBM, bigger waves as a new beat producer, resulting in the Tsunami we know as "Opus 303". Laidback rhythms in the same style as other timeless classic Belgian Boccaccio tracks like "Sleepwalker-Sleepwalker' and "Sleepwalker - The Pink Zone" (also by his hand). Ferre Baelen, doctor Fernando for his fiends, manipulates the 303 like you heard nothing before in your life. No firestarting harsh cries, only a 303 giving birth to one of the most breathtaking journeys ever placed on vinyl, bliss extraordinaire.
Listen and be enchanted ;-)

I finally found this record last year, Opus 303 is such a fantastic, intense, highly emotional and obscure ambient-orientated techno track, I just love it!

It's also the last track on the legandary "Static Tracks Vol. 01 mix-compilation CD" by Dimitri (NL)
