Margaret Thatcher preaching about "Acid Party...Let's have a party, rave, rave rave, murder...never mind the politics." Early breakbeat.

This is probably the first "House" track to get international radio play. It is also probably the first "House" track to have a video played on MTV.

What an amazing track! Sweet synthesizers ambient pads and one of the first "high pitched" samples i'd heard. They sampled "Theme from S-express," or Rose Royce's "Is it Love you're after" (the original sample that S'Express used.) I first heard this when a DJ played this at one of Seattle's earliest "acid house parties." This track stuck out from all the rest that night. This track has been sampled from, as well, a few times.

This track isn't from the UK. Henry Street is located in New York and both Markus Shulz and CL McSpadden lived in Phoenix, AZ during this release. I thought this was an amazing release combining deep house and funky house, typical of other Henry Street tracks. A few years later, I moved to Arizona and met Markus Shulz. He owned a record store in Tempe, which I've heard has closed up and he's moved to Florida. Unfortunately, he started producing and playing trance records (I don't care much for trance.) Apparently, Johnick - one of Henry's streets owners, left to work for a major record label and disbanded Henry Street. "Mugsy Records" followed the Henry Street label.

You may think Fast Eddie sounds "Uber Cheesy" and it might if it was released today, but this was released in '88. This is classic "Hip House" - what happened to Hip House, anyway? I guess bangin' and bouncy Chicago house took over that scene. Fast Eddie, Tyree Cooper, and Mr. Lee were some of the forerunners of that scene. If you like Hip House, you'll like these tracks.

These guys were also known as Force Legato. I bought this because their first release "System" was an amazing track. This one's not as good and not memorable at all, though similar to "System".

I am almost positive this one was produced by Todd Terry. These tracks are filled with overused snares typical of Todd. Todd Terry was probably the first house producer to use the snappy snares to give house beats that extra bump. "Cause you're right on time" uses the sample from Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation." I think this is probably one of the first tracks to use that sample - a couple of years before Black Box.

I think this is Depeche Mode's best album. This is probably their darkest album, but there seemed to be alot of dark releases in by other artists in 1986, as well. It's not as danceable as their other albums, but more artistic.

Typical of an early Low Spirit release This was before "Disco House" existed, but some of Westbam's earlier releases had a real disco element. This is one of those tracks, along with "And Party" which geniusly samples the underground disco classic Jimmy Bo Horne's "Spank."

This is one strange release for Low Spirit. WestBam (one of the founders of Low Spirit Records) has a great sense of humor, which is why I think this one is released. "Alligators have fun" is a noizy track which sounds like the President may have even sampled Westbam. The "alligators have fun" sample sounds like it might be Afrika Bambata, but I can't imagine why he would say that. Another sample sounds like Johnny "Rotten" Liden. "My Baby" is even stranger. I've never really heard a track like this before. The "my baby" sample sounds like it was sampled from a 50's singer - maybe Jerry Lee Lewis. It is slower tempo with a strange drum beat (70's rock?) and some ska sounding horns coming in and out. I bought this release because I was a Low Spirit collector and tried to get everything they released on all labels. This record was pretty much unusable on the dancefloor.
