People raved about Carl Craig's Remix of "Falling Up" when it came out and I remember eventually doing so, too. Though, now that I've heard it a lot more often than I'd have liked to I am slowly starting to question this tune's quality. Yes, I dare challenge the broad majority's taste.
What is it that still makes DJs play it in each of their sets anyways? The outdated sounding, repetitive bassline that bores you for the entire length of the track? The oh-so-original two-chords organ-loop that fades in towards the end? The fact that this is one of only a few listenable but not outstanding recent productions Carl Craig has released in the last two years? I don't know and I probably never will. However, while I initially thought that this record was pretty nice, the only way I can think of it now is to consider it a hype which is a pity after all. So let it rest in peace - you've already played it to death.
