Feeling super edgy today.
Had a couple of really disrupted night’s sleep, which has set my bodyclock way off-kilter, so even though I’m tired as hell, I can’t get seem to be able to get any proper shut-eye. As a result every thing is a little wierd and alien today, like someone has changed the colour settings on the tv of my life.
My brother has this theory that the best time to watch films is when your feeling like this, all your senses are slighty raised and that can help you get more involved in the experience. Reminds me of those scenes from Insomnia, where Al Pacino’s character’s perception becomes more and more distorted and hallucenogenic, the longer he goes without sleep.
I thought I’d try and post a track that feels like the soundtrack for this kind of mood. Taken from Photek’s heavy 1996 ep, Hidden Camera, It’s just about my all time favourite drum and bass tune and among the few that truly justify the jazz moniker, which was bandied around all over the place in the mid-nineties (any track with a saxophone or double bass sound was jazzy at one point).
It also perfectly captures the paranoid feelings of always being watched, so it works really well as a soundtrack to walking round the city, headphones on, seeing the world through sleep deprived lenses.
