Stakka Bo - The Great Blondino - 31-Jul-07 04:15 PM
Track 10 "Lena?" is an orgy of oldschool breakbeats that would fit on any British rave compilation from the past five years on to this release. But it's a surprising hint with urban jungle grooves on this otherwise vocaldriven, though very nice moderntricksy-electronic-flirty pop album.
And a proof of the open-minded club scene crossings in the healthy mid-90s, filled with refreshing challenges.

Swedish hip-hop doesn't get fatter than this. With a close call to Gordon Cyrus almost equal rich producing on Latin Kings - Välkommen Till Förorten (1994), as two examples of old school works (considering swedish rap) in a class of it's own.
Thanks to BomKrash productions (even though their obvious nicks from Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique & Check Your Head), and to Just D with their brave innovation of turning rap in their native language into something exciting for the public in the early 1990's. Especially valuable today when innovation and hits is an unusual combination in todays 'rapmusic', a release like this reminds you of the real potential of this type of music.

I'd say the Eric Prydz remix is the gem here, in fact my favourite production by him (ever).
He transforms the pretty 'unmelodic' original into a thick 80's disco bomb with great sense of melodies, so slick that it feels like something master Bobby Orlando would have done himself. Also with that fat synthetic sound Prydz turns out to be good at, get this vinyl for the remix itself! (something that made him deserve a no.1 spot already in 2003, referring to 2004's Call On Me.)

On this record you can find a classic tune that gets played Every Single Week (and has been for TEN years!) in the Swedish national radio channel 'P3'.
On wednesday nights in the show "P3 Dance" (the dancemusic journal) you'll here it during the club/event guide. And i'm not going to tell you which particular track it is ;) you just have to discover it yourself by buying this fantastic piece of record.

Notoriously difficult to find (in August 2000, a copy went for 102 pounds on eBay). If you find it, get it!

The Union Jack Mix is absolutely top notch trance for it's time. And it never gets cheesy (unlike a lot of the music today that has become famous as "trance" for the masses).
Hypnotic grooves, beautiful harmonies, wobbling basslines, melodic sliding 303's, strings, gently singing/chanting female voices and an atmospheric whispering male voice (saying: 'Won't you come back').
And also the ..tremolish choir effect (obviously created by a Gate) ala BBE "Seven Days And One Week", was introduced before the big BBE-hit struck the charts.

Remixes were also done by Todd Terry and Perplexer, but since this single didn't get a commercial release, those mixes were buried (which is kinda strange for me in one way: Todd Terry was "The God" back in those days).
