referencing Pagan Poetry, 12", S/Sided, rr1000-003

I heard this remix for the first time while I was sitting in the Bar de Boeddha in Delft where it was played as a part of Paul Oakenfold's "Great Wall" DJ Mixes and immediately after I came home, I started searching a copy online. I'm really glad that I found one of these (limited to 1000) records for an affordable price on Ebay, after keeping an eye out for it for some weeks (unfortunately all rr1000 releases are quite hard to find).
A very atmospheric recording. The perfect chill-out music. If you can't find (/afford) the vinyl, get Oakenfold's CD Sampler on Amazon, it's the second track on the second "Perfecto" CD and this track alone makes the mix well worth buying.

I was given the hard sell on this one by a friend of a friend who runs a very cool record shop in London's Soho - I went there to buy something else entirely. I strapped on the cans, sat down on a comfy bar stool and listened to the music pouring into my ears. This is a beautiful track by anyone's standard, and although I have never been a massive fan of Bjorks work, there is something in this record that draws you in and it just works so so well.
Haunting, atmospheric, gorgeous, moody, just plain brilliant - it's difficult to sum up a song of this quality using any one word...but if I had to try, it would probably be this one. Essential.

Yet another great bootleg from the RR1000 label, this time Austraila's Infusion ("Star Water...Its Allright"/ Hold that Body mixes)
does a massive progressive breaks remix of Bjork's latest single. Very atmospheric and breezy production will have fans of Way Out West and Ashtrax going nuts.
