This is by far the most outstanding track on the album Amber, which was one of the main reasons that I bought it (along with the photo used as the album cover) although on first listens, the quality across the whole album can seem a little patchy. I recall reading somewhere that the location for the photo is somewhere in Turkey, unsure if the colour of the sand is pink or it’s due to the way the sunlight is falling upon it, possibly a combination of the two; anyhow looks like a peaceful place to spend some time. I’ve listened to the album a couple of times since writing this post and it’s growing on me; certain sounds and the way some of the tracks are constructed remind me of Richard H. Kirk’s album The Number Of Magic, which was also released by Warp shortly after this album in ’95. Got the album when it came out and, like most pieces of music, they evoke memories of that time – Blackheath, South London, living with my mate Andy, lying on the couch, smoke curling towards the ceiling…
