MusicRadar asked me to write about “Pure Shores” by All Saints”, which I guess was a bigger deal in the UK than it was here, because I had never heard of it. Nice track though.
I had definitely heard of the producer, William Orbit, who made Ray of Light with Madonna. The coolest thing in “Pure Shores” is the polymetric organ riff, every three sixteenth notes. It gave me the excuse to talk about three vs four polymeter as a foundational concept in groove-based music generally.
