Masterpiece. Key. Fresh. Different. Chameleon gets it done with a double A side release. Links is a sweet bubblin' roller with amen touches and of course begins with the sample from the movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. Also found on Logical Progression 1... had to be good to feature on that release.Just Close Your Eyes was way ahead of the game... a trip hop, tropical house, D&B slice of beats and chilled out vibes. Mark System drops this in his Soundcloud Fabric Live mix, check it out!

For me on this release its always gonna be .... Just close yours eyes and listen .... and that is what you need to do!Sounding like piece of 80's soul - think Maze and Frankie Beverley and you won't be far wrong...this tune is made for hot summers and played outside on big systems!Pure vibes

I think there is also a little sample taken from the "Alien" movie of 1979. It's only repeated a few times in the whole tune. Quite a few times actually now I've listened to it again.Well, I know it is coz I've watched that movie a zillion times and it's one of the incidental music sounds in it. So there.

Gandree

Yeah I agree, some guy has posted it below, its just a 4 note snippet used in the tune I think. I recall remembering that back in the day when I first heard it, think that string noise is used in the whole Alien series to be fair.

Buridora

Which sound are you referring to?

Celace

I heard this on a late night show with fabio on Radio 1 when I was young man, then I heard it on Don fm a few weeks latter, loved it then and love it now. A classic! A must have if your a GLR fan.

JoJosho

Only one word can describe both of these tracks.... BEAUTIFUL! I have been listening to drum and bass music since its birth in the early 90's and, quite frankly, both of these tracks (when compared to today’s standards) are timeless classics. If you like the deep and intelligent style of old school drum and bass then these are definitely two tunes to hear before you die - best listened to on a warm summer’s day. Just close your eyes and listen!

"I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast; you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it". A classic sample, taken from Matthew Broderick's end monologue to camera at the end of the 1986 film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' kicks off Chameleon's 'Links'; a track that was included on Bukem's seminal 'Logical Progression' album. Although described in many quarters as an 'intelligent' track, 'Links' rides along on a bumpy-yet-funky Amen break, interspersed with male vocal 'Woaah' stabs.

wait where's the amen break? I don't hear it anywhere

Links features Lyn Collin's 'Think' break not the amen break from the Winstons

Cerana

The AA is where the magic is. Propelled by a snappy 2-step break and a neat subby b-line, 'Close Your Eyes' is awash with synths, strings and vocal samples and is really quite lovely, a high point both for Pritchard & Middleton and Good Looking.
