It was dark, it was Seapoint main road, the lights were flashing, and my mate was playing some hardcore trance. At first I was enjoying it, but there were obviously some deep rooted issues that were surfacing and all of a sudden my heart was pounding so ridiculously fast I thought it was going to explode, my head was spinning and my entire insides were bulging at the top of my throat.
Then, as if tiny little music angels heard my pain, they decended upon my ears and presented me with this...

I closed my eyes, the car still driving at a relatively fast speed..and within split seconds of her desperate voice and earnest plee, I was drowned with the teardrops of magic.
My heart found rest, my head found clarity, my guts went back to their original position. I requested to play it again, and I did.
Since this life defining, altering moment, I have researched every single possible remix of this particular track, as well as read up about this London based band. It is sincerely the first album I have yet to encounter that I can swimmingly listen to the Intro track right up until the very last track "Stars" ...without feeling the need to click on "skip" not even once...and as corny as it may sound, it does indeed leave one's soul in the Stars.
I cannot even begin to describe how intensely I resonate with the lyrics, tones, mood and gestures of this entire masterpeice.
And I am not merely insinuating that you should embrace this music for when one encounters a bad trip, not in any way at all. This is timeless. Evocotive. Pleasure at it's finest.
This is another one of my absolute craving-fulfilling vices off the album:

Reminisce and levitate...
