Crustation - Purple

[@amiausUSA]

This takes me back to late June 1998. I was living in Munich at the time, and one night i heard this song on a local FM station, likely 94.5 Fm. I have searched in vain since then to find this song. Thanks for posting!

[@SlabBenz]

Munich is awesome

[@ayushvasurudragour427]

Trip hop perfectly captures that spirit of a cosmopolitan multicultural city exhausted at night around 3 am when almost all clubs and bars are half emptied and you sit their all by yourself slowly sipping your drink thinking only you are that artsy in this whole town ?

[@hexyko4850]

Listen to their song "Hey". It has that late night feeling.

[@ayushvasurudragour427]

@@hexyko4850 Good one, felt like what you would listen in an art galllery exhibiting underground art

[@funebria9455]

You wrote what I was thinking

[@vill3r0y]

Personally, I just associate this with my provincial years spent in my seaside hometown, and with the occasional trips into a nearby resort town. My closest cosmopolitan multicultural city - I associate that with more modern and less downbeat sounds.

Perfectly said.

This song marked my youth, I love the band and still listen it today. Please spotify ❤‍🩹

[@thenondualisticmystic]

Wow this is truly great music.

[@chrisjoya69]

I first heard this song because of my mom who was heavy into trip hop back in the late 90’s. Then heard j dilla remixed it and got excited because I never knew the name of the song so when I finally ran into it, I hooked for a whole month straight playing it over. Then back in 2010 or so, heard Mac Miller make a remix to it and that let me know that my mother was way to ahead of her time with the music shit. Thanks mom you’re fuckin awesome for putting me into some good music back in the days.

[@hexyko4850]

What kind of bands did your mother listen to? I'm always up for more trip hop.

[@violettrojo]

@@hexyko4850 i'm not his mother, but back in those days as well as Crustation (the cd costed me quite an arm and a leg, it couldn't be find anywhere !) I was listenig to Krüder and Dorfmeister, Tosca, Hooverphonic, Alpha, Archive...

[@4DIVID7]

I don’t think Dilla sampled this?

[@chrisjoya69]

@@4DIVID7 it was actually sampled by Q-tip not Dilla. Definitely hear the Dilla influence tho.

[@chrisjoya69]

@@hexyko4850 I know I’m 4 years late I’m just now seeing this but tbh I don’t remember I was so young I just hear the music and know. This was back in the early 90’s some of the music I still haven’t found.

[@hexyko4850]

Trip hop is very dub influenced.

[@hexyko4850]

Classic. Wish there was more.

this song is dope

[@1989andres]

Beautiful. Heard this for the first time on a Clarkson’s Car Years about japanese cars.

[@TheAravindtop]

I posted a comment on that video 5 years ago asking for this song and just got a reply.

[@damnskippy1189]

Purple is my favorite color and this song is dark & sexy!

[@jaycal1920]

Purple is the color of royalty because back in ancient times no one could create the color and it took some rare shells to be ground into pigment and only the pharoas were able to source and pay for the color.

[@glurum]

I just came here to see where the sample for DJ Icey essentials mix came from. This song did not disappoint!

[@beepst]
