Just perfect! Yeah, thanks a lot for this awesome track! Greetings from Chile.
No hay palabras Paul, gracias por este tema perdido en el cerato.
Ohhh.. I’ve never heard of the band or this song. Just love it when I get to learn and experience something new on this blog. Thank you Dj PaulT and hope you’re feeling a lot better now. 🙂
Thank you Paul!, I remember buying the cassette single back in the day, my tape player ate it up…(grrrr) and I kind of forgot about it. Thanks for resurrecting this lost classic!
Bloody hell, I don´t believe it. Pardon my french in my ecstasy. I found this record in a pile of 50 12inches I bought only a couple of years ago and I thought it was so awesome. Had not heard it before and since then I have never met anyone who knew this record. You do, of course, and so does our dear Jeff. I´m so excited that the two of you love JTL too. Gosh, what would I do without you? How empty my life must have been before I met you here in our safe haven 🙂 Have… Read more »
I just love you so much Song_and_Dance!! You are so full of light and love like Paul, Daniel and so many others here on BTG. I tell so many that Burning The Ground is my special healing place one that I feel such safety and can enjoy all the music here. I return the hugs to you and please, have an outstanding weekend!!
Jeff
I saw this record years ago and have always wondered what it sounds like…. partially because of the PSB song by the same name… this is so cool! So 80’s, it reminds me of Art of Noise. Thank you once again!
You’re welcome Joey glad you like it 🙂
Nice rarity, Paul! If people put on a good pair of headphones and listen to the dub mix…from 3:40-4:04 you can hear the classic sampling of the 80’s in that the song’s stereo imaging/sound stage changes while the samples are being played. This case is a bit extreme…the panning is intentional but the actual “image” sounds different when the samples roll in. Essentially the samples are mono and you hear that mono because in this case there isn’t much of continuous stereo sound being played. This mono sampling was more prevalent in the early/mid 80s and I’m guessing this band… Read more »
Thanks for the interesting info Fred. Have a great weekend 🙂
A wonderful delight to see you posted this record.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Mark 🙂
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Besides from losing bladder control over my excitement, I thought I’d nearly have a heart attack when I saw this one. Oh my Paul, I could just hug you so tight for this song!! This was such a personal classic for me. I get so pumped-up when I hear those crazy edits on this track, especially on the dub version. They all come whizzing by like a drunken hummingbird. You are such a Sweetheart for digging this one out. Man, I am so tickled seeing this on my computer. Can’t wait to go home and bask in… Read more »
You’re welcome, Jeff. This is one of those dance records people may not recognize by the title but once you hear those samples it becomes familiar. I urge all who are house music fans to give this slammin’ track a listen. lots of fun!
Have a great weekend.
So right Paul, this track is SLAMMIN’!!!
Thanks again!!!
Jeff
