Vinyl Recycle - "Gentle Rain"

So the other day I figured I should give my Technic 1200s some luv so I opened the old vinyl record case and was browsing some of the tunes I purchased a very long time ago.   Suprisingly some of the tracks sounded like they could have been released yesterday.

Thought I would share with you some long lost gems that are definitely worth the listen too...

"Gentle Rain" playing on my Technic 1200

Back in 2003 I picked up a promo copy of Blackwatch & Greed's "Gentle Rain" with two new remixes on the Release Elements label.  Side A featured Blackwatches own "Jacked Hi Mix" which was described by Resident Advisor as "a deep atmospheric breakbeat" which features the voice of Leslie who's voice "draws you deeper...[and is] very magnetic and spelling binding..."

The voice on the track is truly mesmerizing.  It reminds me a lot of Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn...a topic for another day.

The Jacked Hi Mix is what made me part with $15 to purchase the vinyl way back when.  Lucky for you it is available on iTunes for $0.99.  Definitely worth the loonie.  Drop it in your itunes account and do your ears a favour by listening to this track.
