I'm a big fan of the Istanbul Forever mix. I recently heard, on the Cybernetic Broadcasting System, the track Stressed Up by Andre and Leslie which it seems the start of this version of Poor Leno is, in part, based on. Particularly the guitar riff.

It is quite soft but is particularly lush and epic. No vocals but the vocal line is taken by a pair (it's a very layered track)of resonant synths.

After a decidedly long intro you get startled by the deep, dark 'n' druggy low-slung bassline that appears out of nowhere. Nothing hard, certainly not fast, but most definitely hypnotic. The bulk of the track consists of this infamous bassline, some clever percussive effects and an understated melody. The only remnants of the original are the vocodered vocals, which are used sparingly. I'd class this as perfect comedown music. The sort of music that you'd listen to after a heavy night out, sat in a living room with a bunch of friends. Pure class!
Rated 4/5

The original is the best out of the pack, but Sander's can hold up as well. The rest doesn't hold my attention. i really think this group will be great. it's been a while since the album first came out, but their ambient soundscapes are amonst the best in the world for latenite gatherings or easy listening music.

a1: nice mix, but not so pumpin
b2: wired walls of sound :)combined with a filter-house beat which is a bit too calm and soft.
b3: nice mix with male vocal and a kinda bongoattacks 1/16
