Orbital, David Holmes & DJ Helen feat. Mike Garry – Tonight In Belfast

In a first, and hopefully last for this blog, I’m posting something that I absolutely cannot stand and wish didn’t exist. Orbital’s Belfast is a really special record; not only one of the best electronic tracks ever produced, but one that remains utterly timeless and never fails to elicit an emotional response in me. This new version is none of these things. It’s trite, cliched nonsense, and I have no time for it at all. Rather than rehashing classic records, perhaps everyone involved should focus on doing something genuinely creative.

India Jordan – For You

I’m a sucker for a Change sample (I mean, who isn’t) but often they’re a poor imitation of the original rather than doing anything especially interesting with it. India Jordan’s For You takes an extremely chill soul classic and transforms it into a rapidly-paced house banger, and does it with a huge amount of class, and a nod to Orbital’s Chime along the way. There’s a lot of stuff thrown at the wall here, but it all sticks, resulting in a ferociously joyous record.
