The duo's first full-length album, 'Phantom Theory', appeared on Junior in March of 2003. Although a few of their methods lean uncomfortably close to Underworld [their labelmates on the respected JBO label], the duo of Phil Dockerty and Alex Tepper illustrate their reputation as handy producers to stock in a crate with a set of 12 able productions, each in a different bag. 'Another Hit' is a great example of the high-stepping British house track, 'Late at Night' an excellent twist on the typically detached, debauched electroclash production, and 'Kato's Revenge' a solid mid-tempo breaks track. The duo even jump on the post-club auto atmospherics of Dirty Vegas with 'On My Mind' and dip into minimal techno for 'Sparc' [and, yes, that's just the first half of Phantom Theory]. Setting to one side their schizophrenic production personality, their commitment to everyman dance music is hard to argue with.
On My Mind

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the darkness takes control
And we're waiting for anybody
Follow you lonesome down the road?
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Only you on my mind
When the journey's never ending
And the road is far from tiresome
And your feet they walk to anybody
Take away that toil and trouble
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Only you on my mind
There ain't nobody
Unless there's you
And there ain't no way I'm gonna fall
If you're there to see me through
And I'm gonna ? the ocean 'coz it ain't got no shore
And I'm gonna ? the ocean it ain't got no shore
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
The lyrics of Futureshock's song "On My Mind" speak of a deep love and longing for someone who accompanies the singer on their journey through life. The opening lines juxtapose the darkness of night against the lonesomeness of the path ahead, hinting at the uncertainty that comes with every journey. Yet the singer's thoughts are filled with this love interest, as they repeat that they have this person on their mind.
The second verse speaks of a tiresome journey, but the singer's love for their partner has made it all worthwhile. The line "there ain't nobody unless there's you" reflects the idea that their partner is the only one who matters in their lives. The third verse mentions that the singer doesn't need anyone else as long as their partner is by their side, saying "there ain't no way I'm gonna fall if you're there to see me through."
The chorus repeats the primary message of the song - that this person is always on the singer's mind. This love is so strong that the singer feels they can conquer anything, even the vastness of the ocean which "ain't got no shore."
Overall, the song is about the transformative power of love and how it can make everything else in the world fade away. The singer portrays a deep and abiding love that is consistently ruminating in their mind, regardless of how unfaltering their journey may be.

When the blueness follows evening
When the sky turns blue after sunset
And the darkness takes control
And the darkness engulfs everything
And we're waiting for anybody
And we're waiting for someone to come by
Follow you lonesome down the road?
Will you come with me on this lonely road?
I got you on my mind
You are always on my mind
Only you on my mind
You are the only thing on my mind
When the journey's never ending
When the journey seems never-ending
And the road is far from tiresome
And the road is not boring
And your feet they walk to anybody
And you walk with anyone who crosses your path
Take away that toil and trouble
Take away all the hardships and difficulties
There ain't nobody
There is no one else
Unless there's you
Unless you are there
And there ain't no way I'm gonna fall
I won't fall as long as you are with me
If you're there to see me through
If you are there to support me
And I'm gonna ? the ocean 'coz it ain't got no shore
And I will conquer the ocean because it has no boundaries
I got you on my mind
You are always on my mind

It was October, 2003. The last moments before dawn, and I'm looking at the sky, with this track playing on the background. A moment I'll never forget (after all these years the reason is... irrelevant) - and this track will always remind me of that particular moment. Forever.

What is it about this tune. When you strip back the vocals, it still sounds amazing! It gives off this dark mysterious moody production that is really a simple beat, then add in the vocals, it all just flows effortlessly!
