Rated 5/5
Review by TEKNONUTTER Sep 14, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
Frank De Wulf's seminal B-Sides tracks were a flagship of quality in the very early 90s for techno & house music, which were pretty much a guaranteed success for the dancefloor and for listening pleasure. This release being one of my personal favourites of th B-Sides series.

A1 Magic Orchestra is a bit of an anthem played at all the underground clubs and much sampled, appeared as a very good remix on "The B-Sides Remixed" release in the early part of 1991.
A2 Freestyle 909 (my personal fave on this EP), has a basic 4/4 909 beat with a dark, stark, sinister, massive Detroit soundtrack inspired, heart stopping string-synth akin to Reese's "Rock To The Beat" but played with even darker, striking chords, a couple of chorus breaks with key stabs in between, reminiscent of "Strings Of Life". No nonsense techno tunage.
A3 "Latino" is subdued and soulful, with a mellower, groovy house sound reminiscent of what is already mentioned above referring to "Last Rhythm"...nice track.
A4 "Heat Of The Moment" is another mellow track with lots of ambience and nice breaks, with a saxophone riff...the only downfall for me are the spoken, somewhat cheesy vocals.

Overall a good, quality package of varied old school sounds for varied tastes.
