Recently I've sharpened up my Discogs skills and decided to check out some library labels more thoroughly to see did I miss some stuff and then I found this. Great track and all but what bothered me was, where else did I hear that last piano chord?
I searched through my spotify playlists and nothing. Then it occured to me, was it BoC. It was none of the remixes and album tracks. I thought I'll never remember it but then it hit me. It is on the end of 747. Posted it in samples speculation thread.
I went on digging what else did this guy do, what other albums did he play on etc. For some reason my Intuition lead me that this tune could be on Spellbound. It is nearly impossible to find clips of it online, basically it is the same as Streetside but more modern sounding. Listened to a couple of tracks off Streetside and I was like "yeah, just a regular old synthpop library LP" and went out to visit a friend.
I recieved a message from Mansin about the track off Streetside which was very similar to our track. He dug more into it and found the LP and that's it. Funny thing is the version on Soulseek is a shitty rip, record skips so you can have an extended version of it lol, but he cleaned it up a bit.
You can all thank Covid for this because now I spend my weekends just listening, playing and producing music with little to no sleep. I explored so many artists and genres in these last couple of months, more than in my whole lifetime. Also thanks to Mansin, I am not sure I would go back to check that whole LP
That would be a bummer.
