Track 2 - "Push":

It’s 10:35 p.m. and our self-imposed deadline is inching ever closer. Chris, Dave & Knappy are putting the finishing touches on some interlude tracks…

Chris starts to lay a bass line with a really cool sounding upright bass patch that gives the track new life. This started out as an instrumental, but it’s way too cool for that now…

Dave and Knappy noticed that the bass line consisted of nine notes (Chris always was the clever one) and this inspired them to write and record a rap to the new track. It was very spontaneous and one of the more enjoyable sessions.

The live feel of “Push” seemed to naturally blend with the intro lounge scene and that’s why it’s #2.

It made sense at the time…

Nine lives left – Push up the fader” (Whatever the hell that means…I told you we were under extreme self-imposed pressure)

Engine #9 History Lesson #45:
E-Figurines, a European toy manufacturer reproduced this landmark session, but Engine #9 was unhappy with the finished product so it was shelved.
