Green Velvet - Flash

For me none of these remixes of "Flash" come even close to the original, but the bonus track, "(You Don't Have To Be) Fake And Phoney)" is worth whatever asking price you have to pay for this doublepack! Insanity is the order of the day on this brain-melting tune, which is essentially nothing more than looped-up beats, percussion and the warped vocal sample which repeats the title for most of the track. The bassline is just a simple throbbing hum, much like "Flash", and is worked and mangled through all kinds of twisted frequencies. Still playing this today and it never fails to get that "What the f*** is this?!!" expression on peoples faces along with much whooping and hollering!

This is really a super release. 3 superb mixes + a short DT'pella. My personal fave is DT's mix, which is as "Tenaglia" as anything he's ever made; funky yet strange, full of those blibs n blobs (especially blobs) he loves so much (me love too, yeah!). The dub from Maas is super too, soo in your face, but still intelligent enough not to bore you after a few listens. The TM main mix is also in the eye, but the least interesting if you ask me. It's a bit more cheesey then the dub and definately closer to the sound on 'Island' by Orinoko (on Island Timo Maas might have moved too far in the wrong direction?!?). Well, go fetch, 'cause this is mint though already a few years old.
