System 7

A re-edit taken from the 2001 Orb single release 'Once More'.  Bedrock (aka Nick Muir and John Digweed) have done a fine job and turned this track into a groovy dancefloor killer:)

Written & Produced by Miquette Giraudy and Steve Hillage
Remixed by Richie Hawtin

Following on from 2011’s joyful techno-orientated album UP, System 7 hit the spot with their new Passion EP – showing that in 2012 they remain on top of their game with their unique blend of trance and techno.

The title track is a powerful techno-trance stormer using all the elements of System 7’s unique sound – a powerful and infectious groove, spacey guitar and occasional psychedelic bubbly electronics - and with additional vocal interventions from Miquette Giraudy

System 7 - Passion

System 7 - Space Bird - Liquid Soul Remix (edit)

System 7 - Planet 7 (edit)

This track uses some sounds first used on a track from the first System 7 album in 1991 in collaboration with Alex Paterson, who is credited here as a co-writer. Another exploration of the interesting territory between prog house and psy-trance, this track also has an openly old school bleepy rave feel to it that pays homage to the original acid-house explosion of the late 80s. "A revolution in attitude - a revolution in consciousness" - a concept that is ever more needed today in this time of senseless wars and global stupidity.

System 7 - Bassrock (edit)
