Private Mood Project - Must Be Heaven - 22-Aug-09 10:25 AM
First to be heard on a on a mix posted online on truehouse dot ch by C Productions from Switzerland, the Fabio Fragapane mix sounds like it could have been a remix from Brian Tappert & Marc Pomeroy (Jazz-N-Groove), using uptempo beats, fat bass, truly wicked keyboards and some saxophone over it, making this some awesome club vocal house.
The John Lucas remix takes it more on a deeper laidback level, with smooth keyboards, funky guitars and saxophone.
Overall this obscure release is an excellent hard to find gem that stands out of the ordinary clubhouse sounds and is still sounding fresh even today.

The true gem of this release is the Spirits track. A very Steve Silk Hurley sounding piano/scat tune (the sound reminds a lot of the seminal Steve Silk Hurley Silky Scat Dub of Maurice Joshuas "I Gotta Hold On You"). Spirits was quite sought after in Belgium and Luxembourg back when Steve Cop used it in a superb happy-feeling summer mix on the Dutch radioshow For Those Who Like To Groove back in August 1992. Many mellow-oriented listeners loved this mix, but as Steve Cop played some real hard to find but so catchy tracks in his mix, it was quite frustrating to backtrack the mix as there was no playlist available. The Spirits one remained one of the last un-IDed tracks until last year when it was IDed here on Discogs! It was quite a surprise to learn this was Fred Jorio behind this production, but in line with his Under World Gang "All In Your Mind" release also in 1992.

Asia Blue - Connect - 06-Jun-08 04:13 AM
For house lovers, skip the first disc, it is the second one that contains the awesome CJ Mackintosh dubs, with the typical FXTC piano-with-heavy-bass with vocal snippets sound he developed around 1992 with respected remixes for Dina Carroll, Sabrina Johnston, Janet Jackson or The Sounds of Blackness (to name the most popular ones), and that would continue to caress our ears until the late 90s, with its commercial peak in 1994. A mix of Lil Louis on the French Max Party radioshow in November 1992 contained the Mack Dub, but it took years before people, desperate to ID it, knew what Lil Louis was playing!

Dawn - Heaven - 05-Sep-07 05:38 AM
Song Of Dawn sounds heavily inspired, if not almost a remix of 1991s TZ-2 release Deep Down, using the exact same organ instrument and sequence, plus the same bassline and percussion.

Kathy Sledge - Good Times (Dubs) - 12-Apr-07 02:42 PM
Extremely rare record, never commercially released, despite lots of airplay by the known DJs when this test pressing came out, and explained by Roger Sanchez on his website:
"dea006 was done when narcotic was based in the uk..the subsequent , tragic death of my manager & label partner , marts andrups, forced me 2 move it back 2 new york, where we began the label again with deany as the catalogue#..unfortunate that we couldnt get those promos out..the masters got caught in the legal dissolution of the uk label.
believe me, it sucked!
r."
The "S-Mans Vocal remix" of this tune was released later on bootleg.
