It is the sixth and longest track on the Cinematic Orchestra's second studio album, Every Day (2003). CompositionThe track begins with a sampling from composer John Barry's soundtrack from the 1968 motion picture Petulia. After different instrumental variations and the addition of a bass rhythm, the track introduces rapper Roots Manuva with a 4 minute long segment over the original sampling. In his lyrics, he references the TARDIS, a fictional spacecraft used in the popular science fiction television series Doctor Who, as well as American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson. The track then tones down in intensity to a piano riff, and eventually finishing with a Harp solo by Welsh musician Rhodri Davies. At just over 11 minutes long at extended length, it is the longest track on the album Every Day. ReceptionJohn Bush of the online music guide service AllMusic describes the track as a "magisterial , spoken-word quasi-autobiography."[1] Paul Cooper of Pitchfork said the song is "contemplative, doubting, restless. For the performance of his career, Roots Manuva drops his Stockwell rudie schtick for a philosophical self-examination that never descends into navel-gazing or therapy-babble."[2] In a review for Every Day for BBC Music, Peter Marsh describes the track as "a cooly minimalist atmospheric funk workout complete with typically off beat rhymes from Roots Manuva and a lovely, kora-like Rhodri Davies harp solo."[3] The song has been used in various different programmes and films, including the closing soundtrack to the 2006 drama film Kidulthood, the television series Hustle, soap opera Hollyoaks and the documentary series Wonders of the Solar System.
