That track is the intro/demo version of an unreleased album.
I did it along with my homie and producer "Lexi",
especialy known for his numerous dub-plates and also his work for Raggasonic et Neg-Marrons.
He founded "X-Pensive" (along with DJ Manu), the first Jungle - Drum'n bass crew in France.
That ambitious project was entirely done with Kif Records,
a subtle mix of samples and acoustic/analogic instruments.
Unfortunately, we never found the vocal guest we needed to built the album,
and that project remained a dead letter...
That unmixed track instantly shows the cinematic feeling surrounding the project...
lyrics
Ce titre est une version démo de l'intro d'un album concept jamais sorti , réalisé en collaboration avec mon compère compositeur et producteur LEXI , connu pour ses nombreux dub-plates , ses compositions pour Raggasonic et Neg-Marrons . Il sera fondateur avec DJ Manu du premier groupe de Jungle-Drum&Bass en France sous le nom de " X-Pensive "
Ce projet ambitieux fut entièrement composé chez Kif Records , un mélange subtile de samples et d'instruments acoustiques et analogiques , malheureusement n'ayant pas trouvé le guest vocal indispensable à la réalisation de cet album , le projet restera finalement lettre morte ..
Ce titre non-mixé donne tout de suite le ton cinématographique du projet ....

The main goal of this retrospective is to set a brief overview of my carreer,
because a few parts of it are unknown especially to those of you who are following me
since my debut solo album "Le Bienheureux".
The second goal is to raise funds to help me produce my next album,
and also be able to collaborate with guest artists on this concept-album.
supported by 22 fans who also own “You know who i am ( MPC 4000 / Rhodes / Juno 60 / Guitar / harmonica ) 2002”
After listening to Degiheugi's large discography, my choice settled on this album. It seems to me to be the most successful. I appreciate the richness of hiphop trip-pop jazzy-chill nu-soul sounds. The French vocal are amazing. jef37
