Just a small note: The running time on this import for Keep On was 9:30. The mix had a longer outro, as it is faded on the US 12". On the US 12" the beat is still going, but is fading out as the mix fades out. On the UK release, the beat fades out completely leaving just some ambient type keyboard to resonate before they too fade out into a sizzle-type sound.

D-Train lay down another eminently uplifiting slice of late disco. Like thier other releases on Prelude, Keep On is positive, and advocates above all else strength in the face of adversity and to always reach out for your goals. This track has that characteristic D-Train vocal break where they bring in two or three voices layered on top of each other to create a beautiful harmony whilst delivering an uplifiting message: "The sky is the limit and you know that you keep on, just keep on pressin' on; the sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, be who you want." This music is very inspiring and makes you want to climb a mountain top.
Rated 5/5

All-time classic underground anthem. What old-school disco jocks DIDN'T play this and "You're The One For Me"? This is disco/proto-house with SOUL, and it's a great positive-message anthem with BALLS. Not corny at all, not "religious", and it'll never ever sound dated either. The DUB mix is one of Francois Kevorkian's top 10 mixes of all time IMHO: It starts off with minimal, sparkling piano with reverb, and the conga comes in, then the vocals and bass-line, and it builds into a dramatic conclusion and will devastate any underground old-school dancefloor.
