There are very few arguably perfect pieces of music.  Music that effectively ends a genre by providing the final answer that everyone else searched for.  It was Luomo who perfected modern house music with “The Present Lover”, and Bowie\u2019s \u201cHunky Dory\u201d perfected rock\/pop.  Miles Davis\u2019 \u2018Kind Of Blue\u2019 is an undeniable example of perfection wrapped in jazz, just as Underworld\u2019s \u2018Second Toughest In The Infants\u2019 perfected the techno genre in one fell swoop.  Nas showed us in 1994 that hiphop need search no longer for flawlessness, while back in Scotland, The Rhythmic State “Soap On A Rope (Hype Remix)” was released.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the less celebrated examples of perfection, made redundant by existing in genres that were passing trends and fashions.  The Artful Dodger \u201cRewind\u201d single-handedly introduced the world the crazy fucked up two-step garage as Mark Morrison perfected the UK R&B sound (yes, I\u2019m serious).<\/p>\n

But underneath even these, obscured and hidden away from anyone fortunate enough not to be stuck in the West Of Scotland in the early 90\u2019s (which can only be remembered only with a bitter\/sweet fondness) is something of equal perfection.<\/p>\n

Ladies and gentlemen, I kindly present to you what is in my opinion the epithet of perfection in hardcore.  This is The Rhythmic State “Soap On A Rope (Hype Remix)”.  Yes, it\u2019s called Soap On A Road, and no, unfortunately I don\u2019t know what that means.<\/p>\n

Enjoy five and a half minutes of bouncing, chomping silliness and remember \u2013 music like this can\u2019t be made now without a sense of irony and self-awareness that never seemed to exist in the 90s, and that even now that only the hippest of hipsters possess.<\/p>\n

Just like Davis\u2019 \u201cKind Of Blue\u201d or Nas\u2019 \u201cIllmatic\u201d, Soap On A Rope (Hype Remix) cannot be replicated in any way.  The difference is, it\u2019s a forgotten piece, forever lost in time and long out of fashion.  In both a blessing and a curse, it won\u2019t appear on the \u201cBest Of the 90\u2019s\u201d CD, nor will it be used in TV adverts to nostalgia-rob 30-somethings.<\/p>\n

Enjoy it for what it is, and for what it was.<\/p>\n
