Free*Land - Supernatural Thing (Part 2) [Marine Parade]

19:31 - January 1, 2004

by Andy P

The saying goes “Save the best for last” and has Adam Freeland really saved the best for last in this double vinyl release?. Read on to find out

This is the second vinyl in a double pack, the first vinyl contained Adam and Evil Rokaus Mix, The Album Mix and the Stereotype Mix. The second vinyl contains a Tom Middleton Cosmos Mix and a Krust and Die Mix.

A1- Tom Middleton Cosmos Mix
B1 – Krust and Die Mix

Tom Middleton is known as half of Jedi Knights with Mark Pritchard and is known as simply the “Cosmos”. Tom Middleton usually puts his own unique take on his mixes and this is no different. Middleton puts a funky house take on this mix and adds more variety to the other mixes in this double pack. He adds a heavier bass and a backing groove that must be heard to believe it. He adds a nasty hook with the bass and the groove that goes in and out, which equals a total dancefloor destroyer. He keeps the 70’s feel of the original mix and makes it more funky. I am convinced that what makes this mix work so well is the groove and the hook that Middleton has added. This song uses less of the vocal, which is great because I never liked the vocal in the first place. Instead it concentrates on the song itself with the groove, the hook and the bassline, which more producers should be doing these days. Nice variety from Marine Parade, giving you a breaks mix, the original mix and a garage-breaks crossbreed mix and now adds the funky house mix. Which should appeal to just about every type of tastes and should appeal to a wide range of deejays. This mix shows why Tom Middleton is considered a genius, because he knows what works and what does not work. Amazing mix

As the saying goes Save the best for last and Marine Parade have done that with this mix. The Krust and Die mix just outshines the other 4 mixes with this double pack. I’d buy the double pack just to have this mix because it is that good. Krust and Die for those who don’t know are members of the drum’N’bass massive in the U.K. What they have done to this mix is nicely summed up in the quote that they gave to Mixmag in August 2003 which they stated “Ok, we’re serious about making music but we don’t make serious music. We make serious party music. We’re serious about having a good time” (Mixmag August 2003). This is what this mix is all about, party time. The song starts with a sample of the vocal going C’Mon, C’Mon, which is backed by a nasty beat. The vocal at this point kicks in and so does some serious bass. You know that this song will pick up and it does not disappoint. It hits the normal drum’n’bass speed and that is what you come to expect from Krust and Die. You hear their trademark rolling beats at this point and you know this is just a party record because it just picks you up and takes you for the ride. It keeps building and then hits this glorious breakdown beat sequence and now the bass enters less often but still has the backing beats. An amazing mix and this betters the Cosmos mix in my humble opinion but you might think differently but what I am certain about is that these mixes are outstanding

Conclusion:
Verdict – Marine Parade gives you something for each taste. You have the groovy house mix to appeal to the house fans and the harder and faster drum’n’bass mix to appeal to those types of fans. An outstanding release for whatever style you like and Adam Freeland picked the right people to do the mixes. So they did save the best for last and this is no different
