Today's addition to my list of favourite singles is this massive number 193 hit from 1995. Seriously this was from the massively under-rated chilled out electro album Sinking. I discovered this a few years after the fact when i was getting a little bored of the whole britpop thing and disovering more electronic music (not that i hadn't dabbled with the obvious Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Prodigy in the mid 90s) and more chilled music to reflect a more subdued and less socially active time in my life.
Their song One Night Stand was on a mix tape a pen pal that i'd met through the first incarnation of social media (the nme bulletin board) and from that i bought the album where this song really stood out. It has a great mellow beat and it built nicely over its 9.50 running time.....it seemed to echo with my feeling of social isolation at the time.
