“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

from The Flower Of Humanity

2000

This track began life as a drum and bass remix of the Depeche Mode instrumental track Slowblow. I changed many of the parts and the arrangement from that incarnation for it to become what it was on Flower of Humanity.

The song was essentially based around the sampled news footage provided me by a friend — another example of him challenging me to make a track based around a single element.
