Wood Work

An absolutely uproarious piano classic here that we really should have posted some while ago. 

'Joanna' was one of those tracks whereby the original version was almost entirely overlooked in favour of a prolific remix, in this case delivered by Tony De Vit. 

However, the original is actually really good (and hence also posted). 

TDV lets his fingers do the walking on this pianotastic hardbag version, though, which left a fair few devastated dancefloors in its wake. 

Mrs Wood herself was responsible for some rather large tuneage back in her heyday, but seemed to disappear following the release of '1,2,3,4' in 1998. 

I wonder what became of her?

(Original Version)

Heartening

Nineteen-ninety-six was a stellar year for the React label, which continued to push the boundaries in dance with a slew of innovative compilations, as well as individual artist releases. The fourth single from Mrs Wood was released in the summer of that year, in the shape of 'Heartbreak'. The follow-up to her immense, TDV remixed 'Joanna'; 'Heartbreak' features the inimitable Eve Gallagher on vocal duties. The original version is unabashedly cheesy, and all the better for it, whilst Mrs Wood & Kevin White's 'Whitewood' sobriquet offers up a techno-hard trance variation. The 'Working Hard' mix was produced by CJ Scott of the Happy Clappers, and showcases that act's trademark piano-based sound, as interposed with the highly distinctive vocals. This is not the best-known release in the React back catalogue, yet it is definitely up there with their best output.
