From the excellent 'Every Man And Woman Is A Star', 'Saratoga' is Ultramarine at their lithe, languid best. Rock an Eagles sample and adding burbling bass and sinuous synths and lots love rhythms and textures.
My introduction to Ultramarine was via a Rough Trade Singles Club 7". They presented a stunningly atypical sound when placed against the fizzing indie Mary Chain-isms of Sweet Jesus, the arch, bookish acoustic pop of The Auteurs and the progressive leanings of Levitation.
If it were a hot summer day, this would be perfect. Even if it's not, it's still a fine, fine track.
