Back in the day I recorded this on a tdk cassette both sides and listened to it on mushrooms. All I remember was The wallpaper falling off the wall like silk and the exposed bricks in the wall dancing to the beat. I think I was there for hours.
It´s Summer and the City, Quincy Jones´ version of the 1966 classic by The loving Spoonful that he sampled here. It proofs that it makes sense to sample the sample of something, as long as one does not run out of ideas!
Dude! Thanks for the info. Just listening to this for the first time and couldn't help but tell it sounded so much like Passin me By from the Pharcyde and after a quick google, yeah they both usin the same sample @@DD-gi4rq
I remember long-night-train travels between home and my military base.. Always finding empty spot, lying down and watching stars through the train's window. Sometimes I had this song on repeat through the whole night. This was better than meditation ;)
Ok guys so i was in amsterdam. First time in my life. First of 8. It was 2012 and my second day. It was in the evening and i allready sat in 10 coffee shops that day rolled like 8 blunts and smoked two vaporizer. I was layin with my head on the desk tired af and then THIS track 2:00 came and sended me in a whole other dimension. It was truly an indescribable moment. ❤️
Me my bro and our mate d hot boxing the the golf mark 1 gti then go in from the shed blast this album while playing a soul calibre tournament on the dream cast oh those old school ones
This album will forever be a part of my soul... Until I reckon with enli, the devil or an assortment of alien civilisations. Love forever my man 🏴🇧🇻💙🙏
I first heard this On Sirius XM on A TV 📡 cable station an its still smooth , still trying to find other songs i heard on there though maybe i was dreaming but I can't think of the name and they were good too 😊
Man this is beauty. Heard it 4 first time at a bar here in S.F.C. the keyboards rang a bell, it humbled me because i listen to a bunch of different categories of music & play a lil latin percussion. I feel like i missed the bus. Thank you creating this jewel of a song 💯 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🙏🏼✌🏽
Обожнюю вашу творчість. Музика моєї юності, зараз мені 40 років, але з вами я повертаюся у свої 16 років. Коли життя здавалось вже таким зрозумілим, а я здавався сам собі дуже дорослим і досвідченим. А тепер я думаю інакше - нічого я не знаю в цьому світі. Міркувати з музикою - одна велика радість.
In 2005 I lived in a small Appartment and we ( a good friend and me) put the Album Cover with a daylight projector on the Wall and drew it . Of course we listen to the Album the whole time and smoke a little bit and dream and laugh. That were beautiful days back then.....The Walltattoo was amazing in the end, it took us many hours.......
"Doin bong hits on the roof in the east coast", MF DOOM would say. Chilling outside, watching the leaves turn yellow and red... just noticed the album cover was that too. Anyways these are such wicked good vibes!
Der 1&1-support hat dieses Stück als Warteschleifen-Musik. Ich bin halb wahnsinnig geworden bis ich endlich drauf gekommen bin woher ich die Musik kenne.
I am pretty sure that the first time I heard this was in a euro/german porn flick from the earlie 90s. I hear again in 2016 and now I hear it almost everyday. Thank you for making this. It means more than you can imagine.
This song was part of the "Space Night" which filled the German TV program every night in the late 90s. It took me 27 years to find out that the theme had been stolen from Quincy Jones (Summer In The City, 1973).

One of the best intro, ever
i was in a bad mood. now i am better!. this came out in 95? whoa!
It's a cover of an earlier song by Quincy Jones, called 'Summer in the City' , 1973
Both are completely fabulous.
@@ned900nah, its a cover of Passin Me By - The Pharcyde, change ma mind
one of the best...thanks!!!..Old school now..

oh yes, proper chill time, big thanks
I don’t think a sample can be used any more masterfully than he uses Quincy Jones’ Summer in the City here.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever made
Should've found and listened this a long time ago. Better late than never.
Der 1&1-support hat dieses Stück als Warteschleifen-Musik. Ich bin halb wahnsinnig geworden bis ich endlich drauf gekommen bin woher ich die Musik kenne.
The original 1976's song it's called "Lilac arms"by Giancarlo Barigozzi Band.
Un classique du chill out devenu culte....
Made love so many times to this song..
I'm going to see this amazing artist in November this year. Woo-hoo..
Cannot wait to get my 25th anniversary edtion vinyl of this awsome masterpiece and chill :)
Ahhhh good times growing a sweet hybrid building systems for dual boot looping old movies
