Always loved this tune, everything about it from the start through to the build up & subsequent piano, the samples of Afrika Bambatta & the cheeky samples on the original promo.


Anyway if you weren't about in the early 90's you missed a treat.

In 1998 we went down to Cream in Liverpool and got in there pretty early about 9/9.30PM.

Idiots were causing trouble and the bouncer were ejecting people left, right and centre... Bad vibes throughout.
Anyway Paul Bleasdale put this on about 10pm and the atmosphere changed by the time the piano kicked in, everyone was smiling, punching the air and going mental....Totally changed the night!!!

Another fond memory after the original one's back in the day!!!


House classic's don't come much bigger than this!!!

Well blow me down, what a fine example of acid house this is then. Some nice pianos, nice break, THAT guitar riff that Pink Floyd wouldn't clear and a very nice use of the Afrika Bambattaa lyric. This still sounds fresh today as it did back then which is the mark of a great record. This is what was special about the rave scene, these tunes were made by ravers, for the ravers. The money was second. Also, sampling but thats another story completely.

Its always great to pick up these original promo's from the days when anything went with samples, this outstanding release obviously features a cheeky sample from Pink Floyd's track of the same name. My copy has a nice hand written comment on the sleeve "From Desa to Jon Wiliams - here is the new single - let it rip in dallas" From Desa and Nick Murphy July 1991.

The Extended Version features one of the best intros to any dance record. It builds layers of fluttering tweaked 303s, watery synths, ghostly whooshes, and just about the perfect house beat. Then the Italian style piano keys emerge, ensuring smiling faces all around.

Awesome, all time classic. Builds up from a slow, moody number into something that blows the walls down every time. Great sample from Afrikaa Bamabata's Just get up and Dance. And a guitar riff from The Osmonds no less! Genius.
