Notes

Written on record:
This record is dedicated to my brother Thierry, my other brother Philippe and Irma La Douce. "Wake Up" goes up to all those who have come down to the Rex on Thursday, to those who come to Dijon once a month and of course to the DJ's who have played there.
You know who U.R!

Later released on Warp Records (WAP 36)

Review by thacidisaster Oct 16, 2007
Wake up is my fave Laurent G track of all time. I generally tend to find that nothing he has produced since, comes near but then I did stop bothering checking out his stuff after about ten disapointments. Who wouldnt. Such a superb, deep chugging techno, tech house track. Still very playable and up to date as the day it came out. The track has that wonderful deep voice saying 'wake up' with a crisp over emphasis on the hi-hats and deep bendy bassline. Fits into any house or minimal set in fine style and guarantees to make ya crowd roar with recognition or sheeply agreement. Has a very nice build up from just the bendy bass on its own with occasional voice sample followed by a high pitch creeping sound that builds with the tune. We then get that fat bass-drum hit and rolling hi-hat. Recommended on a very large scale. Almost as classic as Joey Beltrams 'Energy Flash'. Almost but not quite.
