A great peice of acid house, loved my most but hated by some purists, comdines true acid with bit of a cheesy vocal although somehow works very well.

The original white label should include a heavy grade card cover with the rare to find Desire paper tab as always falls off due to cheap glue being used. The cover is also a from misprinted covers to other releases of the time turned inside out, mine being M D Emm, Fan The Flames.

Lack Of Love is timeless, vintage gem of a track, and the fact I'm about to jot down a laudable line or two about it, twenty years after its original release date, only helps prove my point.
By combining really smooth vocals, great and subtle piano stabs and an infectious, yet instantly memorable and emotional acid riff, the track has potential to draw in both, the regular VIVA Club Rotation electronic music follower as well as the more underground orientated acid house freaks.
I haven't really heard many DJs drop it that many times, but what I can tell is that it works equally well during the lazy morning after hours and during the peaks of more sophisticated house sets.
A trait of a true classic, no doubt. It has really aged with grace in my humble opinion. One of those tunes which will bring smiles to people's faces another twenty years from today.
Rated 5/5

How does one combine brilliant deephouse with brilliant acid? By recording "Lack of love"! Most techno and acid fans hate it because it's too soft and most deephouse fans hate it because it is too hard. But I think it is one of the best records ever!
