about

I always save my favorite song for track seven (it’s where Beck put “Where It’s At” on Odelay). Anyway, my intention on this song was to put together a song in the genre of trance. I didn’t quite hit the mark, but the song is still very danceable. What sets this song, and most songs on the album, apart from real house or trance music is that I am constantly pushing the melody and countermelody. I rarely give the bass and backbeat any time to just fill in eight or sixteen bars–I always feel the need to fill it in with melody and other cleverness.
