referencing Smokebelch II, 12", PT009

Yes, its a total classic, and yes, Its loved by every one (myself included).
At the time of release it reminded everyone that house could be an art form and not just a thing to dance to in clubs.
Weatherall pointed the way to the original spirit of early house, but kept it fresh and modern.

But lets not forget that its basically a (better produced, better realised) version of this bit of Old Skool-ness;

The true story Of house music (Nu Groove).
Its the track called "New Age Bonus Track."

Rated 5/5

An electronic masterpiece and Andy Weatherall's finest moment. What a piece of music. This is electronic music that is almost Classical in it's sound. Incredibly moving, hypnotic and jaw drppingly beautiful. A legendary record that is one of the most essential pieces of Electronic music from the 90s. Respect Mr Weatherall.
Rated 5/5

An timeless classic track which i never tire of hearing. This is music at its best. Smokebelch II is a track that has it all and represents to me many different emotions.
The hope, The past, The future, The struggle.
Constructed by Andrew Wetherall and remixed by David Holmes
both music lovers who in my opinion are just too good.
