Drawing out the ambient strains of the original, Global Communication founder Tom Middleton has reworked Dusky’s ’Skin Deep’ and brought back the Global Communication name for the first time since 1997.
With their critically acclaimed ’76:14’ LP in 1993, Global Communication (Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard) were responsible for one of the most iconic works of ‘90s ambient and electronica - sitting alongside records like The Orb’s ‘Adventures Beyond The Underworld’ , Future Sound of London’s ‘Lifeforms’ and ‘Selected Ambient Works 85 - 92’ by old friend and occasional collaborator of Middleton, Aphex Twin.
Resurrecting the moniker in style with a hint of new original material to come, GC founder Tom Middleton has turned in an epic blend of classic 90’s jungle, ambient and IDM elements that unravels all the ambient textures and melodic depth of Dusky’s original into 8:08 seconds of nostalgic bliss.
“Despite being released over 20 years ago, Global Communication’s ’76:14’ still sounds as vital and relevant today. With so much depth, texture and emotion, the LP is a truly immersive listening experience and has stood the test of time like few other albums. It was a huge inspiration when we were growing up, exploring different sides of electronica, and has remained a favourite for us across the years. When we were thinking on possible remixers for ‘Skin Deep’, we knew we wanted someone special and we knew we wanted someone who would get to the heart of the melodies and textures in the breakdown…. Global Communication made perfect sense. Tom has totally delivered, creating something that draws on the heritage of the ambient sound, but also feels current and modern.”Dusky
“Traditionally the Global Communication philosophy is all about distilling and channeling pure emotions into sound. Dusky’s productions stand well apart from the current wave of mediocre 90’s style soundalikes by being both reverentially respectful to their 90’s inspiration but clearly paving the way forward in their harmonic content, emotional purity and production discipline. Even without the stems, I could feel the intensity in the original string and pad harmonies, and the potential in the lyrics.
"These led me into the depths of ambient soundscaping experiments with classic GC synth arpeggiation and TB303 flourishes for the initial dubbed out remix direction. Dropping in a surprise gritty old school jungle breakbeat or two after the drop was pure instinct from producing/DJing since 1990! I just had to take the track into anthemic one more tune warehouse party territory to induce a screwface eyes-closed bass and beats moment...A genuine pleasure to remix.” Tom Middleton (Global Communication)

2024. If you aren't listening to this loud and with the bass up you're missing so much. But if you're finding this comment now, you already know! This is that one track I come back to religiously after 8 years strong.

[@NicholasOsella]

How does this song not have AT LEAST half a million views? It's amazing.

[@ovotal]

because there isnt half a million people with an exquisite music taste

[@seanmcdonnell2649]

because most people listen to what corporations spoon feed them.

[@antonov879]

Ignorance? No, I'm joking, there's too much in the air, at least.

[@waynejovis]

Can you imagine hearing this out loud at a rave? Would make some moments!

[@davidoosty]

I did exactly that... Simon Patterson vs John Askew open to close set for their Open Up tour... they opened with this :-)

[@barbarabrumen3591]

this came on while i had my iPhone on shuffle in the gym the other day. i already knew i loved it but hadn't physically put it on for a while.... i had to just stand and listen, in the middle of a public gym, looking like a weirdo..... it was - and will always be - worth it..... incredible piece of music, electronic or otherwise!!!

[@tealsequins6864]

Just found dusky this year during the most painful transition of my life. How I survived without them this long .. or until now I don't know .. I love this comment. Your comment. This track needed your full attention regardless of being at the gym. Dusky owns pieces of my soul.

[@BackToBasics90s]

My favourite track of the moment, beautiful piece of music. House, ambient and breakbeat all at once, incredible.

[@brynhendry2899]

House/breakbeat/ambient gorgeousness. Reminds me of FSOL, Banco de Gaia, and other great '90s acts. Love how it slowly builds to a boil.

I saw Dusky twice on live events, once festival once club, and they simply don't play any of these great pieces of art like "Global COmmunication or All We Ever Nedd :( Still love them

[@ultra1obscene]

Agreed as much as I love dusky tracks, I find all their sets have parts that simply don’t grab me then other parts will be the best thing I’ve ever heard. I guess the spectrum of their music is really wide.

Should definitely be part of the Mirror's Edge Catalyst soundtrack. It sounds exactly like Solar Fields, particularly the OST from the first game. A lot of this track reminds me of "The Shard (Puzzle)" (mainly the background melodies with the synthetic strings). This track is just pure eargasm though in its own right.

[@TuubiUser]

much better version than official, because of the beat and melodies. Is this dance or techno beat, i'd like to have more this kind of , any examples?
