A nice piece from Jacob's Optical Stairway, AKA Mark Mac and Dego from 4 Hero. Released in 1995, this is a mid-point between the bonkers rave of their early 90s years, and the lushly (possibly over) produced Two Pages album later in the decade. It's split into two parts. It opens with a gently swinging bit of percussion and bass, some piano and swirling pads later joined by some heavily vocoded vocals. It's space-jazz Detroit-fusion interpreted in a London style. Half way through they accelerate the breakbeats, throw in a few helium grunts, and bounce around with some sub-bass to stir things up a bit. Nice tune. Shame about the album cover.
