It's great to see some pictures of ATV after all those years. I only know the first one in Kooigem ("Le Porche" before they changed the name), but I've never been to the other locations. Boy, ATV was a strange place: amazing DJ's, a crazy decadent atmosphere, and open till 12:00, which was totally fine with me. It's a shame that the first ATV burned down, it's one of the legendary belgian clubs. R.I.P.
JC Project's single release, and what a blast it is! Slower than slow, written in minor, melancholy all around, it's almost creepy. Every time I hear Andromedia something very weird happens to me, I get cold shivers, goosebumps, it's hard to describe it with words. My favorite version has to be the Ultimate mix with it's haunting, screaming voices. It's a shame that they've never produced more, cause J. Coryn and P. Poukyvan certainly understood what New Neat was all about! Never hesitate in case you have the chance to get a copy of this amazing record, you won't regret it.
I disagree strongly with everyone who states that The Sound of C is no "real" New Beat. For sure it was a huge commercial succes, selling over 50.000 copies (and it put their discotheque, the Confetti's Club, in Belgium's top 3), but for me personally this says nothing about the quality of the song. It has ALL the ingredients for being a genuine and great New Beat song: slow tempo (113 bpm), a hardstopping bassline and good samples. And it was a huge floorfiller at that time!
Jesus loves the Acid, an acid icon, so extremely powerful, that it blew me (almost litteraly) away every time I heard it in that infamous club in Destelbergen, Belgium. In the 17 years that have past, this release has kept it's strength and makes me long for those good old crazy Acid and New Beat nights. Simply brilliant... | ||||
And don't forget to listen to the often underestimated B-side. Indeed, you have to play it at +8, and sometimes I think it's even better than the original.
