Review by djindio Jun 10, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
This song was a statement with reguards to the use (or over-use) of James Brown (R.I.P.) samples in the house and techno music of the time. The artists were self appointed spokesmen of a newer forefront in the dance/techno music of the time. A very dated sound now a days.

Well, now it's official:
If this record didn't do the job, pneumonia did.
James Joseph Brown, Jr. died on the 25/12/2006 (sorry to disappoint you, Holy Noise)

A precious man to the music history, without whom this track would have never been released. This track was actually a sort of declaration that Techno is here, kickin' ass, and soul music is history. Now, 15 years later, I wonder if it shouldn't be L.A. Style name on the headstone drawing. Still, an unforgettable tune, that after all these years still makes you move your head like a chicken…

The Story goes one of the makers of this record were on holiday in Los Angeles and when he went out to drink something in a bar, a drunken guy says to him: Do you know that James Brown is dead ?........and then need i tell more ?
