React 2 Rhythm - Intoxication

deusdiabolus, Jul 31, 2006

One of the most perfect remixes ever crafted. Leftfield proved that they were destined for greatness (a fact which LEFTISM later proved) with this anthemic rework of "Intoxication". And on top of that, they turned in two different journeys! The Clubfield Mix is a solid dancefloor number with a pumping, flanged-out beat that drops into a bottomless bassline before assembling the track into its collective parts and moving your butt all over the place. However, the Dubfield Mix is practically a spiritual experience, opening with the exotic vocal wail and s l o w l y, subtly building with a little percussion, teasing female vocals ("just a little higher....thats good") and finally...POW. By the time you get to the pads and chords, you almost feel as if youve just emerged from a dark tunnel into a beautiful blue lagoon. And the records only a third of the way over...
