Review by Alain_Patrick Aug 10, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

A true standard for the piano-hardcore Techno era, "Different Strokes" joins together amazing samples, beats and synth lines. The synth pads on the beginning are taken from "Pacific" by 808 State and re-worked, but you can still figure out it was taken from there; the synthesizer lines goes from these atmospheric ones to the amazing piano melodies of "Salsa House" (1989) by Richie Rich, and also a fragment of the hoover synths from the Techno Anthem 'Second Phase - Mentasm' (1991) - both on the drop out of "Different Strokes".
The vocal samples are from 'Whatever Makes You Happy' (1990) by Marshall Jefferson & Ten City.
