I'd have to agree with the previous reviewer; the clip to Les Fleur is fantastic.
When I first heard 4 Hero's cover of the classic Minnie Ripperton song I was a little dissapointed.. Not because they ruined the track in any way, but rather because they didn't really do anything new with it. The full length version (not featured here), however, strikes up a stunning swing-oriented groove after the first chorus which carries for around two minutes.
Check out of the video on Youtube, and definitely seek out the full 12" version. One of the greatest songs made just that tiny bit greater.

The M.I.S.T Dub remix of 9 By 9 can be played on 45 rpm as well as on 33 rpm. On 45 rpm it's a fast drum 'n bass track, and because it's too fast for me, I always play it on 33 rpm. Then the track will become much slower, but still sounds great. In my opinion it even sounds better on 33 rpm. It then becomes more a kind of a downtempo deephouse track, and will fit perfectly in deephouse and / or garage housemixes.
a fantastic release . 3 songs with the best from 3 genre's aboard - the mighty Marcus Intalex remix is hard drum and bass at it's best ,
King Britt delivers another one of his deep house remixes and the original is a Pop Charts Hit with a great video . If you saw it once you will never forget it . Flowers shot at the viewers eyes and fitting so well with the superb female vocals and this orgiastic arrangement that lifts this tune higher and higher . just a pity that this very version is pretty short .
But all good things they say never last..
The radio edit of Les Fleurs got more than 20 musicians involved : a string orchestra , a 5 piece female choir - drums,bass , glockenspiel,congas,trumpets,french horns, rhodes and of course programming by marc & dego . Big shout out to the fantastic vocals from Carena Anderson
