Rated 5/5
Review by Elton_Gomes Sep 24, 2009
My best friend got this tune and the moment we listened to it we knew this is a top tune.
It's everything that represents drum and bass.
And the lyrics [so hard to do in a drum and bass tune]makes this track even more special and lovely.

Every time I listen to it I am back again in a time and moment in my life where innocence and amazement seemed to be everlasting.

I recently acquired me a vinyl version and could not wait to hear how warm this love anthem sound on vinyl... Totally worth the wait.

My best friend wrote the lyrics down and sent it on an email invitation for his first date with his later to be wife and mother of their first son...

After chase and status's love's theme my favourite romantic drum and bass love anthem.

I recently heard a quote saying that this was perhaps the latest major Drum n' Bass tune and that time will reward it with the status of classic, honoring the highest tradition of the Good Looking Organisation and its artists.
The Amen Break is at the base of the breakbeat lines, though reconstructed - they definitely look like made by Conrad himself, while the fantastic strings, arrangements, melodies and harmonies ensemble seem to be created by Makoto; the lyrics are romantic, and MC Conrad's deep & soulful vocals help to create a very intense aura, specially on the quotes "There's something about you, I wanted to tell you but I don't know how to(...)", "I wanna tell you but I don't know how..." and the chorus "Baby Now that I found you / Should I let go or should I hold you? / I don't know if I reallly know you(...)".
The instrumental version is astonishing as well, but the vocals on the A side make it unparalleled.
