Miner uncovers a gem
A couple of months ago or more, I blogged about a then-still-new track from producer Tod Miner, Luv N Music. As I explained at the time, I absolutely couldn’t stand the track the first 10, 20 or 30 times I played it. (Literally.) After being encouraged to give it yet another chance, I did, and ended-up warming-up to and really liking the track… Proving that first impressions might well be important sometimes, but they are not always accurate. (This also happened recently with amberRose Marie’s Wanna Be a DJ, which I also just hated the first several listens.)
In any case, I’m pleased to report that Tod’s latest track didn’t quite play out this way. The track, Totally Numb, made quite the first impression. There are a large number of mixes available, and I warmed-up rather quickly to Georgie Porgie’s take on the track, which is richly programmed and well-structured.
Part of the difference this time around is that arguably, Totally Numb is simply a better song than Luv N Music (in my opinion anyway). It’s nicely written, and the vocals, performed by Michelle Watt, are nice, and pleasant to listen to.
While the Georgie Porgie mix is not among them, you can hear some of the other mixes on Tod’s MySpace page.
