Over the past week or so this has become my default song. Walking to the train in the morning, walking to the train in the evening, riding the train, writing, reading, working. A few nights this past week I’ve put it on my headphones just before bed and just lied on my back, listening, letting sleep creep over me. Short of being under the influence it’s the closest I’ve come to experiencing the song as a physical thing–the bass hitting me like a soft gust of air, each tinkling high note gently tapping its way across my head. And like most of Orbital’s best tracks it will switch gears and lock into a new thing every so often–that insistent piano triplet, the moment when everything but the rhythm drops out and you’re left skating across the black before the colors creep back in.
