The Tribe drop more of a synth sound for this track as opposed to the funk and jazz samples they used on the songs leading up to this one.

This vibe from Tribe may also be a reason why the song went on to be sampled by drum n bass artist Hive as well as rapper Mad Skillz and DJ/producer Peanut Butter Wolf among others.
