Joe [Stainless Steel] Barwick - Laxity Again (mellow mix)

What can i say, Laxity is one of my favorite composer, i allways loved his very strong melodies and funky styles.

I havent seen many laxity tunes on RKO so i thought it was time to change that.

This Laxity tune is, IMHO, much underrated. I think it'd lend itself more to a jazzy treatment, but this approach is not too bad, either. It's more of an electronic ballad with definite sad undertones. I wish there were more variations in this cover, though. Kinda nice but I wasn't blown away by it.

It's always nice to see that someone takes on SIDs not so well known. Stainless Steel has choosen the proper description for his remake of Laxity Again, it is a mellow electronic ballad. Sound-style-wise I'd place it in the 90s, with a TR-909 beat accompanying the synths.

Although the remix is indeed more mellow than the original, I still think it renders the feel of the SID perfectly. A really enjoyable listen!
