It's a corking track with some great uplifting piano and some superb male vocals.
Very typical of the great club tracks of that era and still sounds great today.
I must admit it was one I that I only came across recently.
If there's a land of peace somewhere!
A gem of a find!
Ronni Simon - Take You There
(Strike Mix)
Doing what he does best just enhancing and tweaky to adapt the original.
On this one, he turns an average track into a really good one and gives it a new more danceable leases of life.
You know I'll be good to you!
Princess - Say I'm Your Number One
(Sgt Slick ReCut)
The piano in this is awesome alongside the deep atmospheric vibe creating a real monster of a track.
I bet this one goes down an absolute storm in the clubs.
Top notch!
Fahlberg - Memory Lane
The vocals are not dissimilar to Pink Floyd's - Another Brick In The Wall", but it's the deep progressive house vibe around the track which is really great.
It touches on the Afro House vibe, but is quicker and more pounding.
A really cracking and very effective remix.
Disfreq & mOat - Running Up That Hill
It's a little short (in length), but I can't find a longer version at the moment, but will update when I do.
If the vocals sound familiar it will be no surprise to people that Baxter is the son of the late great Ian Dury.
About the track, well it's just got a great groove and vibe that flows and encapsulates you with that warm, cosy feel.
Just lovely!
P.S. In case you were wondering Schadenfreude translates as "pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune".
Baxter Dury - Schadenfreude
Heard this on Parky's great radio show this week and it instantly gripped me.
Pounding, throbbing, pulsing piece of deep house with some catchy chanted lyrics and some great voiced samples.
He's got the skill, he's got the strength, he's got the discipline!
Quality!
Warmduscher - Yakuza
(Sworn Virgins Remix)
This one comes from 1999 when trance was at it's very peak.
I think this review from Discogs by Wizhard sums it up very nicely
Higher is one of the finest work of the legendary Laurent Veronnez.
A perfection of progressive trance, it's just impossible to stay insensitive to this one, it brings so much emotion to your ears...
A truly artistic piece that begins with a splendid aerial instrumental break of 3 minutes before kicking in and evolving to a shattering lead sequence.
Then the tracks starts its blossoming and reaches its final state of total bliss with gorgeous piano chords and a Balearic guitar riff...
Maybe this is what it feels to reach the heavens of the sky?
L-Vee - Higher
The track is iconic in itself and was a huge influence on many teenage girls in the early 80's as Stevie Nicks was the epitome of cool.
I've always been a big Fleetwood Mac fan and Stevie's vocals are just pure class.
This remix is great because it gives it full respect to Stevie's amazing vocals and also adds that dancefloor favour.
Those "Oooh, Oooh, Oooh" vocals are just on another level.
Just like the white winged dove!
Pure class!
Enjoy!
Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen
(PARMLEY Remix)
