A different kind of floaty banger. Just discovered this and loving it. Cosmic, jazzy, mellow but urgently rhythmic. Er…rhythmically urgent? Whatever, it’s so good!

As much as I love this track, there’s also a part of me who sees the big tunes everyone seems to buy on this forum and thinks, I won’t buy that cos every man and his dog is playing it. Am I alone in this mindset? Or am I just shooting myself in the foot and missing out on owning a great tune?
I didn’t by the Kassian E2-E4 12" for the same reason (sorry Apiento!) - there are a dozen others I could list as well that just seemed to be rampant in the “last record you purchased” thread to the point of saturation. Even as I type this it feels somewhat ridiculous and I can sense the collective eyes rolling, but I think we are all an honest bunch here and I’m sure I’m not alone in this thinking.

You are not alone! That said, I’m not even a dj so I don’t know why it matters.

I can see your point - but as someone else mentioned elsewhere here, we sometimes forget that we are in a little forum bubble, and whilst there may be dozens of heads who will know it, there are going to be hundreds more who don’t.
Plus, to misquote FBT “It aint what you play, it’s the way that you play it, and thats what get results”

What I was trying to say here but Im not a DJ so you’d expect everyone having similar taste
I totally get where you’re coming from. I’m guilty of doing the same, but I’ve come to realise that if I love a track, it doesn’t really matter how many others have it. At the end of the day, it’s about what brings me joy when I put the needle down. A great tune is a great tune, regardless.

I love this tune so much,
mr. Hancock really had a knack of creating some serious sun soaked musical architecture,

Oh I love that. Right up my rue, thanks.
I completely overlooked this track, clearly don’t play this album enough.
It had me racking my brains too. I’ve heard those opening bars before…

I used to be guilty of exactly this, but changed my ways when caught out not having enough big tunes numerous times back when I played out a lot.
As @howler says its easy to assume an audience’s knowledge. Even if a room does seem to be full of heads, its actually half full of their partners who might just want to howl along to some massive vocal with their mates.
I say seek out secret weapons and mix them up the big tunes.

Plus also: support the underground. If you love it, buy it if you can afford it. Even £1 for a Bandcamp track makes a difference. The piece by Auntie Flo about running a label really brought home that this is a tiny scene and every download and record bought is important.

Re: Big Tunes
I was at All Our Friends last night, an audiophile party where a musically open-minded crowd dances to disco, zouk, brazillian, dub, house, jazz, you name it. Lot’s of obscure cuts alongside the occasional very familiar something something.
Cyril dropped this out of nowhere and to say the crowd went nuts would be an understatement. It was like he’d hit the hyperspace button. An amazing moment.
