Review by dexterfeng Jul 31, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
One of the original Wild Pitch anthems and a coup by the then truly emerging Strictly Rhythm camp. Of a long line of early anthems and hits released by Strictly Rhythm that established their presence. This was probably the one that settled them in for the haul as a label to just buy; don't ask. Rather a difficult task with their huge number of weekly releases.
A record that set off a sound and rejuvinated a by then; something of a has been, DJ Pierre and welcomed him into the second generation of house with very open arms.
A record that signaled the arrival of a somewhat harder New York house sound and one of the likely sources for handbag house.

Underneath all of that. It's a clever yet, dead simple annoying as hell repetitive (i.e. the wild pitch sound) track that is drawn out over way too many minutes with a semi wailing diva sample which is snapped up from an earlier attempt at eastablishing the commercial club house sound which also became, largely. A gay anthem and part of the Jock Jam's canon of fodder.

If it's played. It's either a good fun night or the dj is off doing their business.
Rated 5/5

Generate Power is quite possibly the most amazing 1992 house record I've ever heard (not that I've heard them all by any means). It captures very well the uplifting care free vibes of the year. Perhaps even more amazing is that the vocals were ripped by UK 'Ardkore artists for even more hands in the air rush action.
