PFM – Wash Over Me / Love & Happiness

This record is a masterpiece in every way. Both sides.

All about Love & Happiness for me...

Living in the States on loan from the UK around 94-95.... a friend of mine would send me mixes via snail mail.

A copy of Bukem's Yaman mix tapes arrived. Love & Hapiness starts one side off = early D&B/intelligent bliss.

A decent hypnotic roller which lifts the key synth from the intro of Solo - Rainbow & uses it to great effect.

All combined with a cracking snappy breakbeat, some deep strings, flute type chords & a few female vocal snippets. Couple of breaks & bridges rolling side by side with the main synth.

Bukem used to hammer, go in on this, L&H plus Wash Over Me in his live sets for ages. Two big tracks as intelligent was about to take off...

While dated now, it has lasted well & could do with a PFM current remix.

Stone cold classics!

Love and Happiness features a cheeky-but-effective sample of the opening bars of '91 novelty children's TV rave tune Solo - Rainbow (Original Sample-Free EP Mix)

PFM really went in on this track - that Amen drum edit is insane. Masterpiece.

Wash Over Me easily sits in my top 10 DnB tracks of all time. It is one of the most beautifule tracks I have ever heard. I the first time I heard it 20 years ago and even now after all this time hearing it brings back the same emotion.
Thank you PFM for this wonderful piece of music.

Just been stirred up on fb about PFM and i totally forgot about this ep , as the man said before- what a gem.
It was so good i went out and brought another copy so i could mix the tunes back to back LOL PFM take a bow!

I can´t believe that there´s no comment for this gem ;) The track "Wash Over Me" is truly a masterpiece and a personal alltime favorite of mine. In my opinion its the best release of PFM too. Released in 1995 the record is far away from that typical rave/jungle sound which was popular till about 1994. LTJ Bukem used to drop this tune very often in 1994 and 1995! "Wash Over Me" and "Love & Happiness" are two intelligent/atmospherical jungle/dnb stompers with deep and lush synths. If you listen closer to the A Side you also can hear the famous "Amen" breakbeat in a modified way. For me its hard to define whether its Drum & Bass or Jungle but I would say its a good mixture between both styles. In my point of view the following PFM productions are more dnb orientated and not as good as this one.
