Swan-E – Satisfy My Love / Collusion

"Collusion" is a wonderfully simple Jungle tune! A rolling Amen carries the tune along, sitting on top of a lovely selection of pads and twinkly atmospheres. I especially love the first pad breakdown! "Satisfy My Love" is a pretty decent tune too, a bit on the cheesy side with its vocal and piano riff, but its four-on-the-floor beat and stabby sections make it an overall enjoyable listen.

Regarding the audio quality, it seems like "Collusion" is the only one that suffers - it's quite dropouty and distorted, sounds just like an old cassette tape, but "Satisfy My Love" is completely fine. Quite the oddity, but despite this, it's a record worth tracking down!

I agree, this does sound alright, I can think of alot worse sounding material like alot of the stuff on PM Recordings (Parliament Music) some of that sounds so ruff and I don't mean bad ass that it's ruined superb tunes.

Love how it just sounds as I know it from tapes. And always sounds fine when I´m mixing it, maybe people are too fussy nowadays? Of course the amen is all over the wall, but it´s still as loud as other tunes and has enough pump to work a floor, so no reason to complain in my eyes, it´s rough and ready out the oven. The only thing annoying from a DJs persepective is that the chords come back towards the end, would be much nicer if it ended with the beats solely.

I know what your saying about the Audiotape mastering! thought the same myself. Has to of been intentional it helps make the tune, a gritty original sound & louder the better. Excellent track.

Great tune but sounds like it was mastered from adudiotape?
