Love this! Reminds me of playing on Playstation 1 in the 90s

The rhythm in - and the vibe of - the original Gone Fishing have stuck with me in exclusively good ways. The groove is *palpable*. And while this pleasant blast from the past might not necessarily *exceed* the original, it certainly validates and lives up to it! (But also, you can't ever go wrong with more horns, more drums nor more timbale solos? Right?!)

Beautiful remake and beautiful attention to details !

Way back in the stone age of digital composing, it was possible for one person to store a musical project in a tiny 500 KB file, send to to a different person halfway across the area code (because good lord dialing long distance was for madmen) and every note, sample and delicious pitch bend would be right there. Kinda neat when you think about it.

This track started its life at the desk of Radix / Mosaik / The One Of Several Names, whose creations have always blown my socks off with their restrained glee and wonder. The man builds miracles just because he can, and doesn't show off -- in stark contrast to myself, whose first instinct on this collab was to add horns, MORE DRUMS and a timbale solo. Of course he was right in humbly suggesting we dial that shit down a notch, and so the track was released unto the world.

With permission from Radix, then, here it is in its restored glory. And the timbale solo is back.
