Shades Of Rhythm - The Sound Of Eden (Every Time I See Her)

While Sound Of Eden is okay, it doesn't particularly stand out for me amongst any other "rave-lite" tunes from that era. The real beast on this EP is Armageddon, a screaming monster of a tune that truly causes your bones to shake. Take the stab from T99's Anasthasia, warp it to make it sound even more horrible, lay some massive breakbeats on top and you've got a tune that still causes people to stop what they're doing and get that "what the hell is THIS?!" look on their faces.

'The Sound Of Eden' is the finest piece of music to come out of the Rave scene in my opinion. It's a record that will truly stand the test of time because of it's undenying beauty and incredible euphoric feeling. A piece of dancefloor genius that makes guys as well as girls weep. Stunning Rave/House music that will light up any dancefloor, with a vocal and piano breakdowns to die for, backed perfectly by powerful but very funky beats. Fantastic!

If ever there was ever a choon that was made to get every single girl in the place on to the dancefloor, Sounds of Eden is it. You can't help but put your hands in the air, throw your head back, shut your eyes and sing like you've never sung before.

Awesome is a word that's over used these days but it's the only one I can think of to describe hearing this classic thro' a big powerful system.

People WILL know this massive tune instantly by the opening lines "here's another chance for you to dance with me - anymore". Originally released on promo way back in 1989 I belive and given a full (limited) release in 1991 on ZTT. Rumour has it that it will soon be re-issued (probably complete with a new dark 2-step remix) around APRIL/MAY 2002. If it does appear on the shelves of the underground record shops this year - expect it to outsell almost everthing else. It is still a massive tune and older (and wiser) DJ's are still giving it space in their boxes.
