This gets such good reviews from people, and i have no idea why. It is in effect mind numbingly dull and even cheesy album inplaces.
And from E Smoove i was expecting great things from the Thick Dick project, but track after track offers nothing.
If you can get through the whole album without laughing at the pictched down vocal and hilarious climaxing sounds in Orgasm, you must have had your sense of humour or taste section of your brain removed at birth.
But seriously, it is very run of the mill, and is NOT something i'll be listening to again, unless iam forced to. In conclusion it's about as tribal as a troup of morris dancers on day out to bangor.

Still a total classic and as fresh as the day i heard it at a warehouse party in blackburn in 88. It's awful to hear updated versions of it remixed though, as it is a timeless keystone in house music history, and defines itself in that place like a rock.
If you compare the original to the music of today, you will gasp at the amazing production and the pure energy thats in this track, which always leaves you breathless when you play it out at high volume. It's also the only REAL acid track to break the british pop charts, which is a hell of an achievement in itself.
Indeed like someone said earlier, you only have to look at the work that Dougans and Cobain wrote after this masterwork under the guise of FSOL, it's almost like a precursor of what was to come.

Still a total classic and as fresh as the daisy on the front cover. It would be nice to hear an updated version of it remixed and released though, as the vocal is so timeless.
If you compare the original to the music of today, you will gasp at the thin production and the Korg M1 piano which really ruins the track, looking in retrospect.
Even so, the bad is heavily outweighed by the very good that this track offers, and is one of the very first shades of big beat trance to break the pop charts to an unsuspecting public.

I admire Steve Lawler as a DJ, the guy is one of the most credible in the world and for good reason. Always capable of a mamouth set that moves you and all without seeing any joins.
This compilation however is a bitter sweet affair, because the first cd is not great, and seems to plonk along, with the standard prog and tribal fare which you would hear fleshing out a set.
It's not until you begin to get halfway through the 2nd disc till you start hearing some really interesting stuff.
Germanic style electro house appears midway which really hits the spot.
Overall i can't help but feel that Mr Lawler needed to be more careful with track selection on the first disc, which would have made it the must have mix cd for me.
My conclusion is it's not a patch on dark drums 1, which really is the core of what Steve Lawler is all about.

I can only agree with the previous poster on this release.
While everthing sounds pleasant shall we say, the track really does nothing on side of the vinyl.
Production is nice if not a bit laid back, having the kind of sound reminiscent of automatic releases of old.
More like trance than progressive house really, which is in all honesty a backwards step for the label in my humble opinion, who have recently been releasing some of the best progressive tracks anywhere.
Any label is allowed a blip or two, and for me the last release by Electric Tease "Corsica" and the one on review here, have been a dip in form.

My judgement on this was proven right when i strolled into hard to find records yesterday, finding stacks of copy still on the shelves, which is never a good sign for a single nearly 2 months after it's release.
