Review by DiscoJoints Oct 05, 2009
I just recently re-discovered this LP about a couple months ago while crate digging at a shop on Manhattans Lower East Side. A person came in looking for a copy of DJ Harvey's Love Hotel EP and the question was asked about what the original song was in regards to the Love is Everything edit. After finding the info here on Discogs I went out and found the LP I always knew about the hit "Mighty High" because it recieved much airplay at the time but I had no idea this album was this good with all due respect to Harvey and his timeless artistic vision although I do like his version "Everything Is Love" exploding with such feeling and soulfulness takes you to another place it is far superior than the edit and I'm sure Harv would be the first to admit so. The down tempo track "Millionaire" is simply inspiring and the Stevie Wonder medley "I Got The Music In Me/Superstition" is a funky foot tapper as well. Do yourself a favor and add this to your collection!
