Unfortunately, this record so far has hardly received the feedback it deserves. Many people might even have labeled it as just one of the many records with just another Atjazz Remix. But it's definitely more than that. Basically, if you like any kind of House Music and you can cope with a taste of rap in it, B2 should most likely be appealing to you. It's truly a pop song, but what a pop song! Hard to imagine that anyone hearing this chorus in a club does not immediately leave his seat behind, and even his cocktail untouched, just to take the chance to dance to this. The A-side is also pretty nice, for those who prefer broken beats. For those who prefer the housier stuff, it might also be worth checking Atjazz & Clyde's beautiful track 'Please You', released last summer on a compilation of OM Records.

The Ben Mono Remix on this record in one of my very special secret weapons. Ben Mono, who we all know from his freaky downtempo 'Bit Hop'-productions on Compost Records, is doing a modern Deep House remixjob here, which is so close to perfection, that most of the usual modern Deep House producers should be jealous. Using fluffy, nice synth-chords, and opening their filters wide towards the end of the track, this remix can drive you crazy!

I know that I am part of a minority with my opinion of this album, but I was rather disappointed after I had bought it. I had known some terrific tracks by Gamat 3000 but as a matter of fact except "Tausend Tropfen" none of them appears on "All Seasons". I really wonder why. They could have taken tracks like "Roper's Heaven" from "Sunglasses & Soda EP", which is a brilliant, intelligent deep house track. Sadly, "All Seasons" has become a rather average deep house album with tracks that might fit in an average warm up set at the club. Especially "Blackburst" is a very boring one and not recommended for home listening at all.

I strongly recommend A1! This is one of those tunes, which never get too old. It's hard to tell what style it really is, you may call it "Tech House", "Atmo-Techno" or even "Minimal Trance". It fits in nearly every kind of set, although it is almost ten (!!!) years old. Superb production! The rest of the record appears rather dated.

In my opinion the b-side is the most interesting part of this release. You might not even need the rest of it. Armand van Helden's Remix appears in a rough and stompin club sound, that does not really fit to the soft and soulful vocals. The Demon Remix sounds a bit empty, no proper bassline, not very spectacular anyway. And, to shortly comment the d-side, who needs a Radio Version on vinyl? The Original Version on the b-side brings us the Modjo-Stlye we expect to hear: Funky, soulful, interesting filter techniques. An extraordinary piece of music and my favourite version on this release is the Archigram Remix, which combines the funky Modjo-Filter-Sound with a deep, groovy bassline, soft but fat drumsounds and a fantastic string-layer-sound.
