There's not a massive amount of difference really. "Explain The Style" is a bit like a dub version of "Detroit...", with one or two noises that also turn up in that B1 track (the bubbly sound and the "troit!" sample). But "Explain The Style" takes much longer to develop and its organ-like riff is utterly sick. "Detroit..." sounds almost quite mellow or colourful, but "Explain..." is absolutely furious, in that understated manner unique to Hood's best productions. Oh, and there's an extremely subtle phasing/gliding effect on "Explain..." which isn't there on "Detroit...". Listen to the former track really loud and it becomes extremely effective; does my head in, at least! Brendan
