As the artwork suggests, this track is a very hot day on the beach, burning sun and cold water and a shimmering line on the horizon. Light Channel took a risk putting an ambient track across the whole A-side of this EP, relegating (if you can call it that) the other two dancefloor tracks to the B.
But it makes total sense - this tune is an epic, from the delicate piano arpeggio at the start to the densely crashing waves of sound later on, punctuated by two vocal fragments that speak of Burial-like heartbreak. Add the Incunabula-esque B1 and you have a superb and versatile 12.

Note: this is an entry in the Track-By-Track series for my mix for Butter Side Up.
Track-By-Track is a series that looks back at records you will have heard in my mixes, one by one in the order they were played. Who made them, and when? How did I come across them? And what do they make me feel?
