Cloud One - Atmosphere Strut

My Review of 'Atmosphere Strut' by Cloud One

The track is stuffed full of the severely groundbreaking squelchy synths and Moog sounds Patrick Adams in renowned for, which almost prophesize the future path of dance music and the invention of the TB-303 Bass guitar emulator. Minimal vocals sing the enchanting "We're gonna fly, fly away" until later when some background 'studio chatter' is heard. There's a real jazz feeling and sounds improvised, but most probably, was edited, mixed, mastered and looped beyond belief.
