For the first half of this mix Cold Cave’s slant is nearly invisible amidst the Delorean original-sounding instrumental that could easily soundtrack the Gyrosphere at Seabreeze. In addition to the original’s lack of presence for the first three minutes, it’s also nearly invisible for the final minute as well – this is all the better. The presence is felt only in the catchy vocals from Cold Cave, which are well-placed here, albeit briefly to max effect.
That this version is its own seemingly unconnected song, only hinting at one part of its basis, makes the take interesting. Cold Cave’s is a burner, and though this track hits on a completely different level, it too is a burner nonetheless. Spin it loud.
