rez is:
to dream of delta-v and sunlit roses in the summer sun with the chill on the nape of your neck reminding you of the steam-drenched alley behind the club, when after spilling from the doors you meet the cold dry air of fall.
It is a nine-minute-plus exploration of the inner dreamer, with pads and faux drums and no vocals at all that are recognizable as such.
-brief five-femtosecond hit of arpeggio and groove-
rez is the pathway to the soul
especially when you're packed into the crowd on the dance floor and the music is causing everyone to wave their hands up in the air and all you can think of is the waving hands, and each set a person with a different view of reality
all those realities being shaken out from the tissue paper that holds them neat and unwrinkled in the dress box of the mind, skeins of being and of place issuing forth to flutter gently in the notes
...and the evening creeps in on the sounds of the Fairlight and the 909 to lightly kiss the back of your neck in reminder of the evening air outside on the sweat of your dancing

Rez is an off-album track by the classic EDM techno act Underworld. Originally published on a vinyl B-side in the 1990s, it went on to become one of the most widely recognized and celebrated anthems of the EDM club scene, a key component of the album dubnobasswithmyheadman as a part of the dual-song track 'Rez/Cowgirl.' To this day you can energize an entire venue full of ravers, rockers, old fucks, or dance-curious by playing one repetition of its famous loop. As an example, here's a gig I attended in 20-fucking-17 when they lit this shit up.
