Review by DjBatman
2 stars out of 4
Tzant produced the UK Top 15 "Sound of the wickedness" and the
label on the promo cd says they're a "breakbeat duo". Hmmm. One
of them, producer Jamie White, is half of PF Project, which was responsible
for "Choose life" a dancefloor anthem featured on the
"Trainspotting 2" soundtrack album (a sort of second album of
soundtrack music from the Irvine Welsh inspired drugged-up smash hit
film of the 90's) sampling Ewan McGregor's dialogue from the film
itself. This single is too cheap and fails to repeat the success of its
predecessors. Featuring a 70's bassline and funky guitar that seem borrowed
from Deee-Lite plus (argh! not that!) a breakbeat last used with some
credibility by Moby in 1995, if I'm not wrong (yes, the infamous Coldcut/Eric
B & Rakim or -if ya prefer- PM Dawn "Set adrift
on memory" drum loop), an old scratching sample apparently from -hey!
not again- Coldcut's Eric B remix track (double aaargh), a human beatbox
intro and rapper Marcel Atteen, it just sounds like an imitation of the
Outhere Brothers minus the swearwords. There are 3 versions, the last
one is the worst, with L-Dopa's unimaginative 4-beat.
