MORE FOR THE LESS lyrics by Todd Simmons and Jeremy Glenn Too busy for kindness Hope keeps passing by Justified by freedom Too caught up in time Trading up on values Boost the bottom line He can't think of theirs ya'll Till he's lost his mines Holding on to what's here Then told to trust fear of losing So what's owned? When the cost one's soul amounts to what we done using So what's owed? We're under control Pursuing some weird illusion But what's known? When making each choice relies on someone's exclusion And what we're choosing Means we're all losing, we're losing CHORUS Living just for having Thriving on surviving Just how much more do we need before we're happy Will you stand for something or keep chasing more? Working just for living Surviving while we're thriving Just how much more can they take before we're happy? If you don't stand for something, we'll end up with more for the less and more stress for the rest of 'em Taking with no giving Natural law defied Conflicts orchestrated Crime that goes untried He keeps craving power They just want their pride But neither one can have it All part of the design |

Apersonal Music’s first release of 2013 sees Mario Basanov, fresh from his debut LP on Needwant, team up with Grand Corporation collaborator and exceptional vocalist, Jeremy Glenn, for ‘More For The Less’.
Lithuanian producer, Mario Basanov, had quite a 2012 with his LP on the brilliant Needwant turning many a head with its sleek, contemporary house and disco and airy, melodic sensibilities. Jeremy Glenn, a Toronto native, has most recently cropped up on Classic as a vocalist on Andy Meecham (Emperor Machine) and Stevie Kotey’s Grand Corporation project as well as remixing and producing for the likes of B-Pitch, Blackstrobe and Moda. ‘More For The Less’ is a feelgood, mid-tempo slice of disco infused deepness. Warm keys, almost-there melodies and lazy synth bass gently layer up as the track unfurls into Glenn’s soulful vocal performance. Basanov’s dub walks a line between mid-nineties, vocal cut up dubs and nu-disco drum work and the result is a fresh and punchy dancefloor interpretation. Desolat’s Pablo Bolivar and Apersonal/Galaktika man Maurice Aymard team up for the first of the remixes. In a departure from their respective styles, they stay close to the feel of the original with a bumping yet laid back version that teases the original song into the mix with just the right amount of restraint. Michael J Collins, having made a name for himself on My Favourite Robot and Wolf & Lamb, returns from a long production break with gusto in his remix. Incredibly detailed, achingly melodic and intricately rhythmic, Collins’ remix is fathoms deep boogie of the highest order. Basanov closes the EP with a Redub that takes the track into sunrise dancefloor bliss for tired legs, providing digital only element to the release that is genuinely essential. |
