Review by flukeychoons Feb 23, 2004
The Needs crew hailing from Frankfurt,Germany are a huge breath of fresh air to the house scene worldwide.Anticipation is one word to use for when the next release is going to happen! In my opinion these guys are the hottest property within the house scene in the last five years,as i have yet to be dissapointed with one single release.PROPER MUSIC with soul,feeling and thought.So far so fabulous and believe me these guys have better to come,i recommend checking out Lars Bartkuhn and his Passion Dance Orchestra album Dreamland due for release later this year.It gets a 5/5 rating from me,its AMAZING
