SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:44 Min.
This electronic jazz track was first released on Paul Hardcastle’s First Light album in 1997. It would later resurface on Hardcastle’s The Chill Lounge (Volume 1) album in 2012.
REVIEW:
Between a bevy of synthesizer sound effects and funky choral-style chanting in the background, “First Light, Part 1” is a curious listening experience. Its slower New Age jazz vibe resonating with European-style dance elements makes it frankly hard to define further. The closest comparison re: “First Light, Part 1,” is that Hardcastle’s trajectory resembles a similar style of electronica associated with Jan Hammer or the late Robert Miles. This casually-paced tune is initially enjoyable in its entirety, but “First Light, Part 1” might not be an ideal choice for frequent rotation on playlists.
