As I Moved On

Released in 2003, the As I Moved On EP serves as a pivotal release for the Danish collective Blue Foundation, bridging the gap between their early trip-hop roots and the more cinematic, expansive sound that would later gain them international fame. The title track became one of their most enduring compositions, eventually appearing on their landmark album 'Sweep of Days'. This EP is notable for its focused exploration of a single melodic idea through multiple sonic lenses, including a 'Pleasure Mix' that leans into clubbier territory and a 'Dope Bichi Remix' that emphasizes glitchy, abstract textures. The production is characterized by its heavy use of space and reverb, a hallmark of the Danish electronic scene of the early 2000s. Critically, it helped establish Blue Foundation as a premier purveyor of atmospheric downtempo, blending the Bristol trip-hop influence of Portishead and Massive Attack with a distinctly Nordic sense of minimalism and melancholy.
