Insomnia – Nostalgic

Let’s see, how to accurately convey how amazing this tune is… I could say it’s “one of my favorite oldskool tunes ever” , but I probably say that about half the tunes I post. I could go on about how it perfectly marries just the right type of piano part (euphoric but not too cheesy) with stripped down, deep, bass-y, almost pre-jungley vibes. I could try to explain how the massive repetition of a few key elements (an amen, a melody reminiscent of mr monday “future”, a couple of vocal samples and some deep bass) somehow drive these sounds deep into your brain making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. But if I said all that stuff, I’d probably be hyping it too much, and with a simple tune like this I’m sure most people would scan the audio and not even see what the big deal. So, pretend I didn’t say any of that. Download it, give it a few listens, give it a few more listens – see if it worms its way into your brain the way it did for me.

    Absolute CLASSIC, used to cane on the walkman – never knew the name !!! A proper old roller :)

  7. [...] – no question, this track fits the bill! “Notice Me” is one of those tunes like Insomnia – Nostalgic that manages to inject a fair bit of melancholy into an otherwise euphoric 92-93 hardcore tune. [...]
