Tim: Two Swedish producers, randomly bumped into each other on holiday, decided to do some music. As you do.
Tim: And that brings back lovely memories of beachy dance tracks from the likes of ATB with the high notes in the background and a beefed up chorus, and pleasingly it works exactly as well as it did fifteen years ago.
Tom: Which is where we disagree: yes, it works as well as fifteen years ago, but I didn’t really like this sort of thing fifteen years ago either.
Tim: Oh, shame – see, I love it. Start with a gentle reminder of relaxation, that people are here to throw off their troubles and worries, and just enjoy themselves.
Tom: Or to fall asleep to.
Tim: Well…
Tom: Sorry, I shouldn’t be so negative about this: it’s certainly competent, I can see why you’d like it, but it’s Just Not My Thing. What you hear as relaxing, I hear as plodding.
Tim: Possibly, but then we’ve also got a beating pre-chorus to further remind people that enjoying themselves means dancing around, and a big chorus to actually do the dancing around to. Not sure about that middle eight, though. Meh, can’t have everything.
