The voice on this recording is my father, LA poet, John Harris. He died yesterday, 90 years young. I never knew of this recording, just discovered it. The name of the poem he is reading is called "The Gospel According to John". Namaste.

Chris Harris-Smith Sorry for your loss i know how you feel believe me. I have to say this track is an absolute classic of the progressive house genre, featured in the sweet spot of arguably the best dj set of the genre James Holden Balance 005 cd1 a real masterpiece. In short your father's poetry (this poem anyway) is loved by countless music lovers. Peace, love, unity, respect!

I agree, the best this mix has ever sounded is on the Holden 2 Disc Set. The unique bassline comes across even more powerfully. And he didn't just turn up the bass either. That whole set is fantastically balanced/produced.

Tbh I much prefer the Balance 019 as I find it to be even more creative and timeless sounding. It's a bit more challenging as it's not as club friendly as it has a more artistic approach to electronic but imo is way more rewarding after multiple listens.

Thank you PQM for making this song.

Wowww, what a throwback! This track makes me so nostalgic, thinking about some of the happiest times of my life.

Luke Chable I just wanted to tell you thank you! I remember hearing the original and liking it for the odd quality, it seemed kind of undanceable had an effed up parable on Proton radio and then I heard your masterpiece in a Deep Dish set on Frisky radio. Simply amazing.

Such a bad ass track. One of my all time favorites.

This song takes me back 5 years or so. I used to be on a strict "guitar only" diet, but when I heard this track in a set on the global underground label I was blown away. I thought "there IS intelligence in electronic music" then came James Holden, Nathan Fake, Sasha, Luke Chable etc etc, then I went to raves and outdoor parties, then came the after parties, the chaos and putting University "on hold" then I came to my senses and graduated, it was one hell of a ride xD

You pick up this working girl, who's hooked on smack, who hustles and scores. "That's all I do," she says. She says, "ten bucks for head, fifteen for half and half." She says, "three hits a day at thirty-five per." You say, "that's seven tricks a day at least." "But," she says, "sometimes I get lucky." "Once this guy gives me a bill and a half just to eat me. Only time I ever came." You figure you can save her. You sell your color TV. That keeps her off the streets a whole day. You hock your typewriter for one jolt. Then your shotgun, your watch. A week later, you say, "listen, I'm a little short." But she says, "no scratch, no snatch." You say, "look, it is better to give." "But," she says, "beat off, creep." One night they spot you on the street in your skivvies, trying to sell your shoes. You tell them who you are, but they nail you. Then she happens by, and she says, "Christ, you look fucked." She says, "hang tough." But you don't say anything. You just think, what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me.

I do love this track. It's not singing lyrics, just your normal speech for lyrics. Not only does this make them more understandable, but also adds a sense that you ARE being spoken to. And about what? Finding the meaning of this song is as glorious as listening to it. It's a trippy tune, no doubt. All on top of the fact that the music itself is amazing.

Me and my friend use to meet up in his garage everyday, lay on his couches with his other friends, play video games and watch cable tv and get super stoned listening to this.

what an interesting track, i gotta say that when dance music has meaningful lyrics like this, it just has meaning

Finally found this gem again! I had to google lyrics to find you again PQM!

This is one of the best and the vocal on this version is killer, great to have sweet music, phat pulsating, rolling bass and ethereal high end and a little story to boot. I've had this tune for many, many years and I never tire of it. One of the all time greats - I defy you not to bob your head and tap your foot at the least - I just want to get up and dance when i hear this ha ha!

Heard this track get mixed into a guest set on #ABGT a few weeks ago and it took me waaaaaay back. Glad this tune is on revival. What a great track.

If you'd like to hear the original recording that was sampled by PQM, google "Neighborhood Rhythms (Patter Traffic)". That has the whole version, with the introduction that was cut off.

Bliss! No scratch. no Snatch! Shine on!

The credit for these haunting, seedy, human words should go to John Harris, the poet who originally wrote them. Let's give the appropriate person the credit here.
