Reviews & Discussion
Classic dance tune and a crying shame that someone felt the need to release a crass Degrees In Motion acapella mix over it. Often overlooked is the Darren Emerson mix, more percussion than the Naked mix and this makes it sound great at volume in a large venue, a long build up which is quite tricky to mix but it really lifts off when the beat kicks in, a nice acidic breakdown three-quarters of the way through and lifts off again into an atmospheric close. Classic Emerson stuff.
Passion was originally an instrumental track until Tag Records decided to copy the vocals from Degree of Motion's 'Do you want it right now' and hey presto, you have one of the best dance tracks ever made!
This was probably the first official "progressive" house tune. Tagging according to music magazines as that was the only reason the term "progressive" appeared is complete bollocks in my opinion.
It is just a very, very funky house tune with a piano riff that will tear a dancefloor apart and a basssline to die for.
