Rated 5/5
Review by jazzliscious Mar 18, 2004
Boy I don't know, like most '80s hit's there's great deals of debate as to whether these tracks are "masterpieces" or "complete shit". Being a seer of innovation and skillful songwriting, I bend to the side of "masterpieces". Why in fact, Magic Juan's "Yeah Yeah Yeah" really gets me going every time I hear it. It's just so full of energy and an uplifting song! COOL synth lines in it, too. And the other tracks are all very unique and meritorious in their own ways. Each one rates well above average. Innovative synth work and some basslines that rank alongside some truly virtuoso stylings and excellent vocals throughout, this is a top-notch album of great early house techno. If you're one of those who just hates early house because it's not cool enough or too pussy for your tough-guy flair, well, I'm sorry you're so misguided in life. OK, just kidding. We all like what we like. But this album deserves to be heard - it's tens all the way, baby. EXCELLENT!

Besides the copy with the cover which you can see, I have also a pressing without cover but a totally different label design. As it claims "Distributed by Music Master" and has the earlier KMS adress I presume it's the first pressing. However, the tracks are identical.
