Review by jazzliscious May 12, 2004
This isn't quite a super kick-ass record, but it is a chill bass-heavy mover for its time. I'm sure it would sound wicked on a 40,000-watt system, but good luck impressing the kiddies of today with it. It's somewhat sparsely minimal but does exemplify some nice chord changes and different "parts", thus rendering it a "song" and not just a "track". But that was par for the course in 1990, music was a bit more intuitive and listeners weren't quite ready for the "same thing from start to finish" records that came later. They demanded better production. I think a good DJ could slip this one in on a good set of either techno or even hip-hop, and a hip-house MC could probably improvise some styly stuff with it, but as a stand-alone track, I still say - good luck impressing the kiddies! It's just a bit slow (which I personally don't mind) and sparse for other tastes beside mine. Personally, I like this track a lot, it's just not universally kick-ass. Now am I gonna get some scathing comments like I did for my review of "We're Rockin' Down The House"?
