Review by random-future Mar 06, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
'Consciousness' is the main deal here with it's roaring flute and descending b-line matched with punchy beats. For me 'The Rain' also deserves a mention as it's shadowed by the above (which also appears on the Platinum Breaks complilation) The intro builds to the vocal 'and then the rain comes down' with some spooky effects and then breaks down into a moody b-line with intermittent bleeps and bongo hits. Darker than dark. 'Into the 90's' stands alone as a much more downtempo affair with an unmistakable bass guitar and similair effects to 'Consciousness'. What a diverse and sublime 12"

A superb release by Photek, great jungle, but even better downtempo beats on 'Into The 90's' which was featured on Coldcut's legendary Journey's By DJ mix. A slick jazz influenced track that is up there with the best Mo Wax stuff of the same era. The 12" has been issued with a full picture sleeve as well as in the standard Metalheadz factory sleeve.
