Pendulum - "Girl in the Fire"

Rating: 6/10

Pendulum's album Hold Your Colour was released in 2005. It quickly became a major hit in the UK, and one of the bestselling drum and bass sets of all time, but several excellent songs have gone unrecognized on this track, with "Girl in the Fire" among them. Switching between strummed acoustic melodies and reversed loops, this track sets off on a casual, funky journey. However, in typical Pendulum fashion, it's not long before the atmospheric space sounds are filled with a two-four breakbeat pattern, rounded off by the murmuring bass and electric guitar. Pendulum plays this eclectic mix off quite well, and I think this song deserves more credit in bringing together their album.
