"So I'm 28 and I've heard a lot of techno. In these the late 90's, things are starting to spiral away from what's been known as traditional "Dance" techno more than ever before. Innovative artists like Funki Porchini, Josh Wink and LTJ Bukem are consistantly pushing the envelope.But what about that one day when you need a piece of music that's going to get you started a whole heap better than a hot shower and a cup a java? Time for Rest Assured's Treat Infamy. An instant hit with club ravers the past few years, this single gives us five distinct versions of the same tune, all wonderful in their own way, including a slower version for that special sex-filled mixed CD you've made for your lover.So what's it like? Try to imagine the Chemical Brothers and Orbital having a really wonderful accident with the Verve's stolen Rolling Stones sample (remember Bittersweet Symphony? that 12 note loop you couldn't get out of your head?) on the busiest, hippest corner of your late 1990's cyber-metropolis. Synths and heavy beats dominate, but there's a wonderful building that resonates while beats get harder, and you actually have to LISTEN to pick out all the beautifully woven synths. "I'm feeling bitter. I'm feeling sweet. Somehow my life just isn't complete." chants the dark male voice over the hard-hop soundscape. Kiddies, if this don't getcha happy, NOTHING is apt to."

Brilliant song
