Together (Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon) - So Much Love To Give
Put simply, when I first heard this early in 2009 I was pretty moved by it. There’s something about people like Bangalter who can make a 10min track not seem like a farce. Having found this track again tonight it reminded me of the elements that make house great for me. A killer sample, some powerful backing, and those classic house drums that just thump along.
As my trip to Europe comes closer I have been going through a lot of old house music from pioneers of the french sound, italian funky house, early UK electro house (Coburn, Dr. Kucho, So Phat! etc.) and a few other sounds that have a soul at their core like this track does. Though I think big changes in sound can often be wanky this sort of ‘back to basics’ house sound is something I think I will be focused on more than ever when I return at the end of the year.
