Talisman & Hudson, The* - Leaving Planet Earth

Sand_Leaper, May 05, 2006

Like many other releases from CSMFs back catalogue, this one is rarer than rocking horse shit. In addition, its been in such demand after being championed by Paul Oakenfold that the title track has been bootlegged twice and re-released again by Global Underground on their recent compilation "10".

Trainspotter hype aside, the title track is rather marvellous. A soaring, string-laden intro gets contrasted sharply by punchy, driving breakbeats, providing just the right amount of variation from the regular 4/4 norm.

While I cant say that it is worth shelling out the arm and leg that Ive seen it go for on eBay, it is certainly worth hunting down.
