- Many of you would have heard this track on Nick Warren's latest Global Underground CD, and many of you will remember Istanbul's Subsky (aka Cervus) from his amazing productions, "4 days" and "Confide in me".
Strawberry fields begins with a twisted synth, tough kick and minimal percussion. Waves of melody steal in and out of the track, as floating pads fill the room. More intricate percussion is introduced, when melody key changes and a chugging synthline bring us to the breakdown. The captivating melody is given full attention, the chugging synth is brought back, then the beat. A bassline groove holds us until, uplifting pads and spacey hits complete this beautifully complicated track.
The Max Graham mix uses many of the same elements as the original, but has more of a big room club feel to it. Max's trademark hypnotic percussion and bassline energy introduce the track. The melodic waves of the orginal are interupted by a dirty off key synth as uplifting pads and a trancey synthline give the track it's big room appeal. The chugging synth leads to the breakdown where melancholy pads stand out until all the elements are brought back to great effect.
Yet another double A-side from Release Records...
