If there was one record which defined an era, I would have to say "French Kiss" is that record. It's now 20 years old and yet it is one of those tracks that always sounds like running into an old friend that you have not seen in a while. True, I can still laugh about the uptight club owner who fired me on the spot in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, when I let the part with the moaning come in,
and I never even gave it much thought. That is until about seven months later when I am in some muddy field in England with 17,000 people getting the full effect. Driving back from Boston to New York one Saturday night in early 2009, I must have been trying to find a proper tune on FM radio for about two hours and suddenly on 107.5 wbls, I lock into "French Kiss" and remember what the New York skyline looked like when we were blasting that track through an Alpine 6 Cube radio. 20 years never looked or sounded so good.

I have also just realized after 15 years since I bought this 12" it's pressed on green vinyl.....hold it up to the light...Jupiter is awesome 303...shame about the apparent Armando rip off though.
New York is a HOT HOT HOT jacking techno house cut. It often seems to be overshadowed by French Kiss and Blackout but this short little groove stands out on this EP.
"Jupiter" track is a remix of the Armando Classic "1.5.1".this version was remixed by Lil Louis & Armando .in 1996, Armando Gallop was interviewed by a french magazine,Coda.he revealed these infos & told too he never he was a bit disapointed by the fact this ep was a big seller, & didnt had any credits for it
