A game of perfect doubles
I was making a pink love CD for the wife and had cobbled together (quite unselfconciously in a muso kind of way) a batch of songs I knew she'd like. Anyway the last two tracks on the CD were:
Scritti Polliti: The Sweetest Girl
PM Dawn: Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
and I just thought when I played it back
*SNAP*
those are two tracks that belong together.
For lots of reasons:
1) The skooshy drum machines on "The Sweetest Girl" reaching fwd in time.
2) The Spandau Ballet sample on the PM Dawn (edging it into Scritti's historical zone).
3) Scritti's neo-soul shaking hands with PM Dawn's.
4) Scritti's later dalliance with hip-hop.
4) Lets face it, both tracks are perfectly "Blissed Out"TM.
Damn it they were practically singing from the same songbook.
