The standout track from Sasha's 1991 Kitchen Mix... a wonderfully atmospheric mix, with this pick of the lot... gorgeous and probably my all-time favourite house track
SO under-rated ... *if* you are lucky, you might have heard Sasha's mix from Martin Pickard's kitchen ... this, Simply Red "Stars", Homeboy, Hippie, Funky Dredd, Belfast ... 5* shizzle ...
великий трэк, предвестник труспиритовского равэ. одна из лучших композиций моей жизни, явно "оттуда". a great one, a harbinger of true spirit Rave. one of the best tracks ever, and clearly "from out of here".
a DJ friend made me a mix tape with this on it in 1994. I just learned this week who sang this and what it's called. I found the tape in a box and used shazam. love this song
Discogs Review by Restless "At some point in the late 1980's/early 1990's when acid house and rave music took over the UK as a storm, synth-pop fans had the delight to hear some of their favorite artists going towards more wild, fresh and experimental territories, crossing white synth-pop music and voices with the thrills of devastating acid and euphoric house. Some of these trans-genre mutants would become acid, rave and balearic classics (i'm thinking here of the Beloved's "Acid Love (Love & Ecstasy Mix)", Paul Rutherford's "Get Real - Happy House mix", New Order's "Round & Round (Kevin Saunderson remix)", Cabaret Voltaire's "Hypnotized", John Rocca's "Move", Marina Van-Rooy's "Sly One" (all mixes) or even Depeche Mode's "Strangelove (Hijack mix by Tim Simenon)", among others). Phat beats, nasty acid lines over white soulful newwave singers, hypnotic voice cut-ups and effects, moody futuristic synth pads, longer rave-friendly versions : a new form of (synth) pop was born here, marrying proper song structures with the raveolutionnary "air du temps" and perfectly illustrating rave's "unity" aesthetics by musically marrying two scenes. Well, among all these beauties, the "Club Vocal Mix" of "Always" by Midi Rain (another John Rocca project) is perhaps the most outstanding and daring, with mad echoes all around, soulful angelic voice, drugged-up blurry sometimes almost cartoonesque production sounding like an E'd up manga full of panache, and a dramatic progressive construction that give the dancer this energy rush and love thrill which only great rave moments provide. This song mixes craziness, euphoria, feelings of hope and a certain melancholy, and in my opinion is a perfect testimony to that period's state of mind. In my book, a masterpiece."
I heard this on a Scott Hardkiss mix tape. Searching for this track for many years. Sweet TB 303 action and arpeggios. That mix tape, when you find it, also has a Fortran 5 track on it (Heart on the Line).
Lyrics please!! I've got this original CD from Ellen Alien but can't find a digital copy of it, only the tracks separately. Really appreciate if someone can help with the lyrics. I just love this song!!
This is THE mix. I went through about 5 plink plonky bollox mixes before finding this one. Now, off to find "Eyes" which I think had an excellent Depth Charge mix ... or was it Bizarre Inc?
