Never as Good as the First Time - Sade

[link] I'm a huge fan of all the Sade classics. Coolness distilled.  This song has so much good stuff going on in both the top and bottom of the mix.  The breaks before the verses.  The vocal harmonies are extremely penetrating.  The bass and synth rhythm lines are really cutting.  But all within a very controlled and essentially single bass root groove (there are a couple of chords underneath the chorus, but still...).  Everything fits together perfectly in this song...
