Messalina (4) - Take Me To Mudbone - 11-Oct-09 09:12 AM
These days its rare to find records where every single song is a killer. Lucci keeps surprising me on the wonderful Messalina label. That label is just Wow! This fourth in a row is again sublime.
Take Me To The Mudbone cleverly mix a latin Santana edit with dubbed vocal elements of the 89 classic Take Me Away from Jeff Mills/True Faith into a deep 10 minutes long chef-dœuvre
On the back Lucci chooses to edit the big Paradise Garage classic "Cream" by Bionic Boogies Gregg Diamond. Cutting the best parts of the song to rework it, it became a wonderfull sexy disco groover. This will heat the dancefloor up.. A must have!
This side ends with a blissed out edit of Fleetwood Macs forgotton Brown Eyes. A classic from there 79 Tusk LP on Warner Bros Records.

Revenge, The (2) - Night Flight / Unfinished Edits Are Out Of My Hands / Savin' The Day - 11-Oct-09 08:11 AM
What a brilliant record again from Clark Graeme. A big part of his magic is certainly his choice of reworking those specific songs, but man the way he does it every time is truly amazing. "Night Flight" gives us a very smooth edited version of Stevie Wonders fantastic "Love Light in Flight". What a vibe.. A long and very interesting build up ending in the warm vocals. Hearing it for the very first time, I just lost it! A masterpiece. On the B-side you get a very surprising edit of the catchy Ghostbusters "Savin the day" soundtrack by Alesi. A truly killer, this will rock your dancefloor! Again a very smooth edit that takes just a little time to reach his "boom" point, but when it gets there, it just blows me away. It tooks me some time to get used to the chorus at the break. I guess that was a struggling point on this edit, but Graeme works his way out of it very nicely. If you have some philters on your mixer its a great place to use them! The third edit of Unfinished Business is just a fabulous boogie moment, even if the 2 first ones blows my mind a little bit more.. A must have record, you wont be disappointed. One of his best releases yet!

Michael Griffin (2) Featuring George Karchmer & Khrissie Henderson - Close Your Eyes - 03-Feb-09 11:04 AM
A record with a special story. At times house music was banging on Chicagos clubs and radiostations this great vocal release was pretty much ignored.
Well, lets say some Djs discovered it, played it and got warm reactions from their public, but still the track didnt really break out as some others did.
Thats a shame because it is definitely one of the greatest Chicago Classics of alltime. One that always will be on my personal playlist, even in 20 years.
The vocal and instrumental parts are smooth and wellthought, its difficult to say wich one of them makes the track so good.
A masterpiece of his genre on Matt Warrens AKA Dance Music label, one that will move you, thats a promise!

Sergio Bonzanni and Raff Todesco are back in full force with a stunning vocal house release.
A straight groover that is driven by a sunny atmosphere.
The smooth vocals of the great Arthur Miles as well as the sexy female backings are giving
the track just the right character to move the most tasty dancefloors. No doubt about that!

An outstanding production by this great duo! Tunes like this one should be in everyones box.

It is so easy and so difficult at the same time to review a breath taking masterpiece like this one... What can we say about this song except that it is the best possible example of Italo perfection. Well, at least in my personal opinion. It is loaded with a lot of emotions going through some sadness, melancholy and fragility all in a very refined way with a dark and boosted up galloping baseline. The instruments are just perfect and well thought, and the vocals, well, they maybe are even better.. All the ingredients were there to create something that wont be forgotten in the years that would follow.

Knowing this, it could be remarkable, but this song is bringing you exactly in the mood you want to be and so it doesnt have to be a sad or melancholic mood. Me for example I just get very happy with it, tons of emotions and goosebumps from the deepest! It was their very first official release as a group and their love for the music is really painted on that song. You feeling that devotion till the very last second.
Weird that it never broke glasses into the charts back in the day.. Maybe because of the tons of releases that came out in a very short period of time in that area, but anyway, its a real pleasure to see and discover that it finally gets the popularity it deserves!

A truly wonderful production from David Zambelli, but most of the credits goes to the real creators of it: Sergio Bonzanni as the composer & Salvatore Pileggi on the vocals. The song was recorded in 1983 at the Regson Sound Studios in Milan (Italy), the day after Scotch recorded there famous Disco Band. The instruments used in the song are an Elka Synthex, a Korg Poly 61 and a E-mu Drumulator. The picture on the sleeve is Sergio Bonzanni in the studio together with Salvatore Pileggi.

Definitely my absolute favorite song of all time! No words could ever describe this song as it should be...
