Buyer beware that the Afro Acid Remix on this vinyl is not the one that has the acid elements. If you're buying this one thinking it will sound like the one that Richie Hawtin has been playing you'll be disappointed. The acid elements are swapped out for trumpets and other jazz gear. Not a bad take but its just not the same. If you want the real deal you have to get the green double vinyl version cat number CS 003 on the label "Club Standards"

Missed out on hearing this for years,only knew of the "hardfloor remix" but the "afro acid mix" by Martyn Young is far superior to it.A lot less cheesy as well.
This remix is a forgotten gem,a lot of groove in it with its ebbing and flowing acid riffs and the vocals have not been tampered with.
CLASSIC!!!

File this under "guilty listening pleasure." OK, no serious (cough) electronic music type would be caught dead listening to a record that now seems to have all of the elements that are generally despised: the "ethnic" vocal sample (OK, at least Hardfloor were actually remixing the vocal here, instead of it being another example of Johnny Laptop going down to the World Music section of his local Best Buy and picking up "African Tribal Noises Vol. 13" and looping it in his sampler) - the acid line - and, since it's 1995 - the obligatory big, big, oh-so-big rolling-snare-drum build up right in the center of it.
Yes, this record has 1995 written all over it - but there's just something about it that just kicks ass. If I could only have one record in my collection that exemplified this 1995 sound, it'd be this one. One night I listened to it about ten times in a row. You get the idea.

303 madness with a African flavour, that is what you can summarize these tunes. This has been a constant floorfiller with it's really funky percs mixed with the 303. Altho being just 6min, it feel really complete, builds on very nice and just keeps on going and climaxes nice with Hardfloor's patented drumroll. Many deejay's choose to play the dub, but i feel like it's a shame as the vocal version has more heart put in it.
