Tom: Remember C2C?
Tim: Erm…
Tom: They’re the French turntablists I raved about a couple of weeks ago — and you were fairly nonplussed about — with ‘Down the Road‘.
Tim: Ah, yes, of course. What’s this then?
Tom: Well, here’s the next single: this has been out for ages in France, but the UK promotion’s just starting. Skip to 0:30 for the start of the track.
Tom: I don’t want to come on too strongly here, but this is my favourite track of the year so far.
Tim: Blimey.
Tom: It’s a gospel song run through a turntable and a sequencer; it’s like it taps straight into the musical-appreciation bits of my brain.
Tim: Hmm. Favourite track of the year, interesting. Not mine, but I certainly get what you like about it, because it really does have something of everything you need in a good get-up-and-go style track – it’s quickly movement, it’s got excitable vocals, nice squeaky-scratchy bits to think “ooh, that’s them, I like them”.
Tom: Frankly if this doesn’t want to make you dance like a loon — like a rather less professional version of the spectacular dancers in the video — I think there might be something wrong with you.
Tim: Well, it certainly passes the dancing in my chair test you presented last time, so that’s at least is one thing that’s not wrong with me. Good.
