O.R.N. "The Decision"

Several of you long time vinyl junkies may remember a track called 'Snow' which was released as a one sided 12" on Alola and then given a full release on Deconstruction back in 1996. The track was the work of Omid Nourizadeh under his O.R.N. moniker. Now almost 8 years later comes a new single under that same name, a very cheeky one at that, sampling the Bronski Beat track 'Smalltown Boy'

'The Decision' takes the familiar riff of the aforementioned track, and slips it in amongst some awesome 80s style drums that fade in and out of the groove. Shaker percussion adds a subtle ambience to the groove as the drums shudder, creating a gorgeous rippling effect, with bleepy sounds rising up through the gaps. Key and tempo slides change the momentum of the track on several occasions, but maintain control and keep you hooked into the groove. A masterful and respectful tribute to the synthpop classic.

The usual Omid quality shines through in large quantities here, and it more than lives up to the label's name, as your ears will have an orgasm to this splendid track.
