Strikers, The - Body Music - 23-Apr-09 04:01 PM
The vocal and instrumental both truly capture the essence of groovy, hypnotic disco music. Every time I hear this record, I lose control of myself in the stuttering guitar chord and piano line repeating over, over, and over again. Yes the track is very simple, but my god if you can't groove to this at full volume, then you just plain can't groove! For a good reason, this track is called BODY MUSIC! This is undoubtedly one of the best in Prelude's catalog and Larry/Francois's discography.

I bought this record thinking Hurley's remix would make this a 1988 house classic. Contrary to popular opinion, I didn't find myself enjoying Hurley's remix much; the vocals weren't great and poorly meshed with the track and I found myself thinking it was a pretty boring track.
I listened to the flip side and found Arthur Baker's dub remix to be a better substitute for the deep garage house I was expecting from Steve Hurley with sparse vocals backed behind a combination of Chicago house rhythms and deep garage effects. By no means does it make the record a classic, but it saved the vinyl in my opinion.
