An absolute corker of a tune; although an Ibiza "chill out anthem" [cheesh!?] it is quite simply one of the most beautiful tunes I've ever had the opportunity to hear. And to top it all it's from one of the finest modern dance genre bands of the last few years...
Apparently one half of GA is from Barnsley, a town not too far from me!! This last part obviously means nothing to most, but hey a local boy all the same... :D

I love it! I've seen them live a couple of times and it was really pretty special. One of the gigs was in a small room and the atmosphere was seriously electric. I know that's a cliche, but it really is the best way to describe it.
You cannot be uptight after listening to this, it's very calming.

One of the best summer chillout tunes ever. The remix on GA's "The Remixes" album is pretty good as well, taking the track up tempo.
Can't wait until July when GA will be hosting their Lovebox event once again in London Village.... although they have moved it to Victoria Park in Hackney for some reason...... was hoping for it to be Clapham Common (just out of sheer laziness!)

Yup, that's the reason why I bought that album, for that song.
Big Ups to Groove Armada, those guys ROCK!
C'mon you gotta give props for them sampling the Andrew Sisters' "Cape Cod" --- :D

That's just spooky. Saw this on MacBytes and thought "that's a good one, better go and add it to my list", only to discover that I was the one that added it in the first place!
One of these songs that you never seem to get tired of and is just as good each time you listen to it :)

I find this the most uncomfortably claustrophobic song I've ever heard. The saxophone is outrageously sleazy, the lyrics are grotesque, and the overall experience is one that makes me want to run out of a room screaming.
Suffice to say, I'm not a fan... it's ruined a large number of the chillout compilations I've heard.

:eek: That's the first bad thing I've ever heard about these guys. You're fully entitled to your opinion but I wholeheartedly disagree.
