Give it the first 4:25 before it really comes into its own and makes the 2nd half, and the entire song a journey unto its own. Solid choice for electronic fans, with an ambient feel towards the end.

Smooth ambient feel makes it the ultimate chllout track. A must have for Cafe del Mar addicts, but has yet to grace the track listings of the Ibiza based compilations. Unfortunately, not available on Itunes as it's a bit more obscure. With a little effort, a free download can be found via google search.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17123562-112770050677584481?l=djgurus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dj andreashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06954949375955163236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17123562.post-1127699183548422052005-09-25T18:37:00.000-07:002005-09-26T19:25:58.873-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00067HPIC/qid=1127700836/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4065594-4616850?v=glance&s=music&amp;n=507846"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.dustygroove.com/images/products/g/getoboys%7E%7E%7E_foundatio_101b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">ARTIST: Scarface</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">SONG: G Code</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GENRE: Rap</span><br /><br />From Scarface's original group, this song has become my go-to rap anthem. Anyone who has any remote interest in rap or hip-hop can get into this song. Great lyrics, heavy beat, musical background flow. If you are unfamiliar with the Geto Boys, their biggest hit was "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta," featured in the movie "Office Space" (great flick).<br /><br />Also check out: "No Tears." A Scarface solo.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17123562-112769918354842205?l=djgurus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dan saperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15328353172999585259noreply@blogger.com0
