Having spent most of the seventies in diapers, I haven’t had much experience with Quaaludes. Someone purported to give me one once, but even my rudimentary knowledge of disco-era depressants tells me that ludes probably didn’t taste like oranges, and defiantly weren’t shaped like Fred Flintstone. That said, it is with brazen confidence that I describe this song by Portland DIY band Strategy as the audio equivalent to the Quaalude experience.

Back in the womb, Stop Spinning may have been a full on dance track, but somewhere between its birthing process and the formative years the song became a slowed down and washed out sound scape- an ode to the dance floor that asks nothing of those standing upon it.
