Rated 5/5
Review by xtalhedphelym Jan 14, 2009
Commercially the end of S'Express in the UK with this release (a paltry no 22 in the charts) which is a shame as this is a fine
bit of house but i think after the wonderful fluff that was Theme
From,Superfly Guy and Hey Music Lover the public werent
ready for a serious slab of thought provoking dance.

A long track which in the first half has a wonderful heartfelt
vocal and an ethereal backing track which hypnotizes you and then
sucks you in,the second half gets a bit chunkier and dancier leading you to a wonderful crescendo,i defy anyone not to get
goosebumps after the final piece of vocal.

Special & Golden was a standout track on the Original Soundtrack album and having it as a b-side all to itself allowed it to sound a lot better than on the vinyl album version.
