Midlake Roscoe

Im Loving this track at the moment even though its 2 years old.

Roscoe hails after the halcyon days in teh 1800s, It gives an eerie enchanted feeling of being alone in a hunted forest but everything is fine knowing the mountaineers are always there. Who these people are, fuck knows but they can fix your house hang out your dog and be on there way to help the next danzel in destress. I like them... Im sure they are 10 feet tall legs like tree trunks, forest warriors.

There is also 2 other versions, an instrumental containting piano, acoustic guitar, some synth samples and the vocals. The vocals are slightly different in the acoustic version. The original seems to have a double tracking effect through out the whole track. The other is a remix by a group under the name of "beyond the Wizards Sleeve" better known as Erol Alkan and Richard Norris. Erol is a well known techno producer/DJ and Norris is best known as a member of The Grid. This remix is amazing; they bring a lot of the elements to life giving them their own space with in the mix but keeping the original fundamentals of the track, also some FX have been placed over them to color and brighten these elements.
