Mining the 90s – Faithless – Insomnia

This is one of those musical statements that wouldn’t even need the lyrics. It starts with that soaring symphonic sweep and then a throbbing heartbeat drop.

Bang.

I can’t get no sleep.

Even the remixes are bangers.

Call it dance music.

Call it driving music.

Call it whatever. It’s a vibe. It’s a mood. It pumps. It sweats. It’s alive.

It’s alive.

I’m not really big on dance music. No techno. No jungle. No drum n’ bass. No EDM. Not really. There has to be something to it to get my attention. A simple groove won’t do it. I’m looking for an accurate portrayal of something that already exists. I’m looking for a representation of real life. Simulation of something we want to exist doesn’t cut it.

I’m looking for a representation of real life.

Real life.
