Both versions of the title track are cheesy in that fun, play it for your friends way. But the real sleeper gem on this 12" is the Living on the Nile remix. IMO, Egyptian Lover really shines with instrumentals. This one is classic electro - minimal, catchy, easy to mix, and a sick synth line. And at over 9 minutes long, there's plenty of room to mix in and mix out.
An anthem for the nightbugs, the typical Rose clave drum action and hooks and the sexiest Dance Male Artist in the 80's, with the deepest vocals this side of the Nile baby. Put it this way, if you were born in the mid 80's, your momma probably had you while boppin to MR. E himself, respect is due for an artist who refused to go pop..
Although kind of giggled at today, in his time he sold more records than pratically anyone else of his generation/style, combining the style of Dr. Dre/World Wide Wreckin Krew, with the "Gag Wit Spoon" West Coast taste's that clearly trumped all other's...There is, and will never be another, like Mr Egyptian Lover..
