Memories from 4:30 by Forty Cats
'Memories' is a vintage outing reminiscent of early 2000s prog, where samples and melodies reigned supreme. A prominent bongo drum and kick form the foundation, while a reflective vocal contemplates consciousness. The low, rumbling bass evokes a distant foghorn drifting across the ocean, enveloping the track like a fence. Within this framework, an arpeggiated, filtered synth dances joyfully. A percussive loop filled with grunts and vocalisations adds further rhythm after the breakdown to complete a satisfying journey.
