Reviews & Discussion
This is a seminal release in terms of classic feel good house/techno and can always be played at a party. It is clear that Garnier is well influenced by detroit techno styles but it is his use of the live saxaphone that makes this tune his own, not only fusing but forgeing a style which will never be forgotten. Never the mainstream but always a classic Garniers album release Unreasonable Behaviour is the perfect vessel from which to deliver this amazing tune.
As previously noted, LG apparantly didn't/doesn't like the Driver mix, but in truth both are very similar in structure. The Jan Driver mix is possibly a touch more dance-floor friendly, but could do with being a bit longer IMHO.
To see the best version of the track, you have to see him live where he will rework/remix the track live stretching the experience to close to quarter of an hour. I've seen him do this in the UK and on the terrace at Space in Ibiza which was special.
One confession. My TMWTRF vinyl is my most prized vinyl as I had it signed by the man himself. He was really good about it when I saw him in Bristol. Bit train-spottery I guess, but as this has been such an important tune for me in my clubbing,mixing,dance music time his "Merci, Much Respect" message means a lot.
