Peter Benisch – Sabines Song

Maceo Plex included Faster Than Light in one of his 'Mariel Ito' sets back in 2005 and also selected Sabines Song for his Fabric 98 cd mix

Faster Than Light is one of those tracks one never forgets and also a rare occasion in which all Discoggers agree. From the get-go, the electroid broken beat sets the reasonable pace, punctuated by a heavily vocoded snippet (undecipherable to those ears) that immediately transports the listener into futuristic territories -- exotic ones, if the initial bell "melody" is a sign. Catchy, but the best comes further onwards: the suddenly rattling bassdrum, then the moody, moody synth layers that clear away any fear that the "exotic territory" might imply too festive activities. No, no! it is melancholic music indeed, bound to stir a wide panel of emotions while getting the feet on the floor, rocking it. Timeless.
The other tracks are rather dull, on the other hand.
