Blue Amazon were pretty amazing and everything that touched was just supreme.
This is right up their with some of their best.
Strap yourselves in it's an epic 15 minute journey, but one that keeps you fully engrossed throughout.
Layers and layers of superb progressive house at it's very finest and building and building until that heavenly peak with those delightful piano chords and the helicopter/chopper blades sound effects.
Just so chilled and with those heavenly chimes, it just puts you in another place.
This has featured on many Balearic albums and rightly so, as it epitomises that Cafe Del Mar scene.
I've also included a more recent Charles Shillings remix, which is pretty good and very similar just a little bit faster and punchier, but still containing the great aura of the original.
When I hear this track I instantly think of the Chris & James Essential Mix session which they did live on Radio 1 back in 1994.
It is still to this day the best DJ mix set I have ever heard and still sounds brilliant almost 30 years later.
It was posted on the PCC blog many moons ago, so make sure you check it out if you've not heard it.
By hook or by crook most of the tracks from that mix set have managed to make their way onto the PCC blog, just because they were all pretty amazing.
This is probably a lesser know one, but fabulous all the same.
It's a great track by the notorious Annabella Lwin, possibly most famous for posing naked on a Bow Wow Wow album cover as a 14 year old back in 1982. (It certainly wouldn't happen nowadays folks!).
The track is ballsy and contains lots of sex chants, underpinned by a really hypnotic groove.
It's a really great and unique track, typical of the Chris & James ear for obscure gems.
I wasn't quite sure what to make of this when I first came across it, as the Portishead version is so iconic and such as classic.
However, as with pretty much everything they touch Heaven 7th have done a great job and kept true to the original whilst adding a bit of extra fizz and their customary dance/crossover vibe.
Maybe not one for the purists, but I can guarantee that this would rock dancefloors if dropped at the right time.
