Luciano - Amelie On Ice

Instant classic for me. Took me a long time to find this record but worth the time and effort to hunt this one down. Head straight on over to A2 for one of the most beautiful techno tracks ever created. Best of all, it dosn't loose it's dancefloor appeal in the dramatic bits of the sample. Hands down Luciano's best work. Not to be forgoten is the re-working of Eisbär which impresses with it's throbbing bass line. A must own for Luciano fans.

The two tracks on the side with the couple, dancing on it are two different reworks of Yann Tiersen's Amelie soundtrack using various parts from the soundtrack. the second track on here is the real bomb, it uses parts from the awsome La Valse d'Amélie (Version Orchestre). Stunning strings, beats and twinkles filtered through Luciano make this a clicky deep track to watch the sun come up after a long night dancing. On the other side however is another killer track taking the classic german disco track Eisbär by Grauzone 1981. Working Eisbär into a slightly quirky and disjointed wiggle track. Very different to the original Eisbär but somehow keeps on the right track by using the iced bear vocal. The artwork is also lovely with a picture of a polar bear on the Eisbär side. This is probably Luciano's finest moment and since the samples used are not exactly legal it will probably never be properly released. Keep your copy safe as your girlfriend will probably want it for herself if she sees how much beautiful damage it does to the dancefloor!
