Rated 5/5
Review by tony.lee Mar 12, 2008
'Baby Wants To Ride' manages to embrace sex, love and politics with its lyrics, and drive the dancefloor with its raw bassline.
One thing that's often overlooked in the lyrics is the line "Jesse, I hate thieves" which refers to an earlier incident of 'Jesse Saunders' re-recording note for note 'Jamie Principles' earlier track 'Waiting On My Angel'.This release itself being largely uncredited to 'Jamie Principle' with most people at the time thinking of it as a 'Frankie Knuckles' release.
'Your love' had been released a few years earlier on Persona Records and with its tale of desire for love, beautiful melodies, and almost sexually abiguous lyrics it was a breath of fresh air even on its second release on Trax records.
Both tracks heavily influenced the then emerging U.K Acid House scene, although it must be noted that neither of these is an Acid House record.
