Second-Hand Satellites - Multiple Mirrors EP

I first heard this when Doc Martin did a rare-as session at Lounge:One in Leicester, UK in 2000. I remebered that moment so vividly, then hear it the next weeked on Craig Richards & Lee Burridge's Essential Mix.
I will never part with this record. It posesses a layer of magic that you could look for in 10,000 12's and never find, but it so cooly, calmly and understatedly transcends you to another place within your own musical karma.
It is classed as a tech-house track, but I cannot see it in the context of any particular genre - it seems to be bigger than that. Even now, this has left a celestial marking, like the high-tide mark for a golden era of dance music.

This is one of those timeless tracks that you still hear played out today. When it was released, Orbit 1.3 was played by pretty much every representative of the tech-house sound - it featured on mixes by Craig Richards & Lee Burridge, Doc Martin, DJ Garth, Sean Cusick, DJ Three, and many more besides. Not only that, but its appeal spread as far as the progressive fraternity and those of more traditional house sounds. It's a deep throbbing epic with a haunting vocal sample and that indescribable 'X factor' that makes a classic track.
