That muted lead line is addicting and grabbed my attention from the get-go. It also doesn’t hurt this track has a sound all of it’s own. The beat has a pocket groove and all the elements come together so cohesively. The track is taken from Pluko’s second studio album, COLOR BLIND. Pluko is Sam Martinsen who has only been on the scene for two years and is rather prolific. For fans of ODESZA.
If you don’t recall the original house number by Rozalla you might be overlooking genius this is. Solomon Grey took what was anthemic house number and placed it into another world with a much more intimate setting. This version has a melancholy feel, orchestral elements and a bit of post apocalyptic feel. This cover would sit beautifully at the end of a movie of where this is mass destruction but the victors are finally free of tyranny. Yes, very cinematic.
Starts with a warm piano chord sequence that reminds me of The Beatles mixed with a bit of folk and orchestral. It’s beautifully done and exudes warmth and love. Really love the overall feel of this track. K.S. Rhoads is well known in television and movies having produced more then 100 licensed musical tracks. He is well versed in composition and it shines on this track.
Another stand out track is Chess:
