And we all shine on!

Cleveland City did some great remixes.

Always tinged with lots of great piano.

This is no exception.

Not quite as instant as "Let Love Shine".

A quality little PCC all the same.

Enjoy!

Amos - Only Saw Today 

(Cleveland City Club Mix)

Go to Church

Though 'Let Love Shine' is one of my all time favourite records, the severely underrated and largely forgotten 'Church of Freedom' is a more than worthy successor in need of some exposure. Whilst the original mix, co-written by Mike Koglin, is a pleasant affair (albeit one that is slightly marred by the unnecessary ragga-muffin type vocals which characterised the later Bleachin' releases), the remixes are of a much higher calibre. Tinman delivers a typically euphoric version, whilst Quivver lays down something altogether darker. For a 1995 remix, Quivver's retake is markedly minimal and sets the tone for the direction his sound was to take. Amos' final solo release was the More Protein-issued 'Come Away', which I have earmarked as a potential future posting on account of it being top quality.

Come on - Let Love Shine!!!

Another real stomping tune from back in 1995 and another track whcih brings back fond memories of nights at Cream.

It took a while to track down the exact mix I was after, but big thanks to Harvs once again.

There are several people who have given fantastic support to this site providing tracks for "wanted gems". So a big shout out to Harvs, Grim Reaper, Antii, the boys from my favourite blog http://oldschoolhousemusic1990-2000.blogspot.com/ , thats Colo, Ste, Dave, Gav, Holty and the rest of the crew.

If there are any others who have provided tracks and I've not mentioned above a big shout out to you also. Respect.

Back to the track, it's one of those with a pretty long intro and build up, but oh wait for that piano breakdown - Awesome - a proper hands in the air moment - no doubt.

I'm going to be calling this type of track - Nu Skool in future. In my mind old skool was up to 1994, then came lots of different genres, e.g. Progressive House, Handbag House, Hard House, Disco House etc but none of them really capture tracks like this, so they will fall into the Nu Skool category, as there are lots of these type of tracks on the blog.
