Third High
A remastered version of Future By Design’s “Third High” initially available on a promo only basis back in 1998. This is actually my first Drum and Bass track. I lacked some of the sophisticated mixing equipment I have now back then, but this is a simple idea that is effectively captured. After a tranquil opening with the sound of sea waves crashing against the shore, the track switches mood switching to a crashing “Amen-break” + sub-bass fuelled epic, typical of the tracks being released at that time. Perhaps the change in musical tone is a contrast reflecting idealism vs reality.
I wrote this track when I was searching for worldly ways of dealing with stress and looking for escapism. Let’s just say, all earthly pleasures have their limit, but Yah’s way of dealing with this, is totally different:
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:11 NIV
