When I first heard this tune by the future jazz artist Hefner (not the indie rock band) on "Radio Styl", I had no idea yet that search for this tune will bring me into the whole world of downtempo/electronic jazz music and a few years later - into broken beat scene. Later, in August 1999, when I was listening to Gaya Live (one of the first streaming web radio-stations to deal entirely with electronic music), I heard Hefner's music again. But this is an entire huge story to tell about. Let's be consistent...
It will take me about a year to find the Inertia Records compilation, where this tune was included. And another couple of years until I first find his tunes through AudioGalaxyy, and then - his entire album through SoulSeek. But still, this opening tune, alongside Clifford Gilberto and DJ Vadim's "London Mind State", will always remind me of my last spring in Minsk.
