MFSA021: Inner City Life

I have often been struck by the curiously polite silence of a packed early morning commuter train, where people are pressed closely together yet rarely speak to one another. As the city flickers by in the morning sunlight we share our physical space yet remain alone with our thoughts – at least until the silence is broken. As a soundtrack to urban living and exploration this mix is largely instrumental, with just a few carefully selected vocal cuts. In deference to the 20 year old drum and bass record from which it takes its name, it is is both atmospheric and polyrhythm-driven.
