Round Two - New Day

After reading all the other reviews, I felt a sense of warmth that I feel everyone who loves this song feels every time they play it...
How can something so simple be so unbelievably effective, with it's drums, unique bass line and of coarse Andy's voice continuously feeding to this already ripe tune.

It really get's to me from the part where Andy sings " open your eyes and you will see... that this was meant to be..."
The mood change leading up to the songs title was just to brilliant. You feel as if you want the song to play forever, I wouldn't mind if this was the only song I was allowed to hear for the rest of my life!
It is just too good of a song for me not to post my review on it, even if I was the 100th person to do so.

The best male vocal deep house tune ever to land in my ears, and it's very difficult to think of another tune that makes me feel like this one does...

Sublime. One word to describe Basic Channel's epic "Round Two: New Day". How can music be so unostentatious, so unagitated and yet so disarming, no, overwhelming at the same time? Andy Caine's gentle voice, the romantic lyrics and Mark & Moritz' sensitive production - simple drum programming accompanied by lush strings and that unmistakable, superb bassline - unite to perfect, heart-warming harmony. Deeply touching.

Of course, with such a historical classic on the A-side, the flip can be easily overlooked. In this case it would be a particular shame as the "Dub Mix" (in no apparent way related to the original) delivers prototypical Basic Channel sound at its best, to be classified somewhere between "M4", "Domina" and "Trak II" and my personal secret favourite of the legendary Berlin crew.

Another testimonial for Basic Channel's unrivalled excellence and possibly the best Deep House tune ever.

Another comment added here, perhaps pointlessly. The vocal only mentions the title of this track around four minutes in - all the verses basically end without a chorus - and at the point where the title line comes in, there's a subtle key change in which the warm Jupiter strings suddenly take on this unexpected and additional richness.

I have a theory that all the best tracks have their "moments", one particular point in the track that kind of encapsulates the rest of it. The key change in "New Day" is that moment, in my opinion.

Just got this tune for my birthday. I have listened to it many times throughout the day and can't get enough. "its a new day..." a very emotive piece music which will hit both fans of deep house & techno music. Essential series of 12"s. Check!!!

A wonderful example of how less can be more. Untouched Basic Channel production, with Andy Caine providing the vocals. A very positive track, and definately the highlight of the "Main Street" series. Universal in its appeal.

I can't agree more with the comments above - in my view simply the best vocal house record ever made. Peerless production with a beautiful understated male vocal.

'there ain't nothing standing in our way, we got a new day'

incredible warm and smooth, this track ain't as nervous and hectic as so many house-tracks are. nothin' stomps herein, the track takes you on a silent journey deep into the heart of house.
to be played at 6:30 a.m. in a hot summer night for a last climax after all the ass-kickin' stuff of the night has passed.
as above: one of the best house-tracks ever.

Simple 909 drum patterns, deep but powerful bass, Jupiter strings, FM synth stabs, some gentle bongo's and Andy Caines voice planted perfectly in there somewhere. Bad pressing adds even more character. The deepest, most complex and timeless house record ever made.
