go Adam! rooting on the home team :-)
Good info there on Nick, whose productions have only grown sweeter and sweeter.
Jazz has played a much heavier influence in his last two albums, 'From Within'
and 'Underground Alternatives,' both of which are excellent and are on Bristol's
NRK label.
The track in questions though, "Sometimes I'm Blue," came out as the flip to one
of his singles on K7 (he did two albums of loop-heavy, disco house for K7 in the
late '90s, decent but not his most innovative work). It's a 10" single, can't
remember what was on the other side. I think he did also release it on one of his
DNH EP's (Nick owns/operates DNH). Sweet track, and one of the first to signal
his change in direction from tracky/disco to jazzy and more song like. Hope that
helps.
