Great Cd Single Track three is excellent. Part of my Drum 'n' Bass mix. Track four is more of a chillout track.
This is NOT the best version of the song
The best version is and will always be for me the Star 69's Suzanne Palmers' which unfortunately has not been released yet outside the clubs. It is a shame that the world finally knows this song from this dull version of Kosheen. Look later this year for Suzanne Palmer's Hide U with remixes by Peter Rauhoffer.
Hottest track!
I turned all of my friends in college to it as well and that's the ONLY song we ever hear in the dorms. Kosheen's "Hide U" is the hottest track in my world at the moment. I first heard it at Twilo in NYC when DJ Sasha remixed it. It was amazing and the vocals are great. This will be the hottest track of the summer. . . YOU JUST WATCH!!!.
Really great drum-'n'-bass/techno stuff !
First, there is the radio edit for "Hide U". Four tracks here, and all four tracks R really worth it. Really nice, just like the original, and it's only a little bit shorter. But is has some little differences. This song, "Hide U" balances between drum-'n'-bass ( in a danceable way ) and technopop, and that's what makes it really great. You can really dance to it.
Same applies to the next song, "Empty Skies". This one is also very danceable, and just as good as "Hide U". There R some subtle signs that reffer to Latin-music ( just as in "I Was Wrong" ). The singer her voice is beautiful and great in this song. Again, this song balances between intelligent technopop and drum-'n'-bass that is danceable. Hope they'll release this song as a single too.
The last one is a bit calmer. "I Was Wrong" is a little bit more trip hop-like, but beautiful. A little bit introspective, with some subtle Latin-thingies, and a wonderful way to cool down from the previous high energy dance songs.
Please, just buy it ! You won't regret it !.
Melodic Drum n' bass at it's best
If you are interested in Drum n'bass or if you are a DJ, then check out their album, "Empty skies" and I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Kosheen is a crew of three guys that make incredibly good Drum n'Bass, this single contains one of their best tunes, Hide U which is getting really popular in the northern hemisphere where I live, probably because it get's better everytime you listen to it.
