Various - Gossip All-Stars

We have all realised that house music is the greatest thing on earth after sex, and there are some house records that are better sex! Hott 22's 'Something Real' is right up there with Nelson Mandella, Mother Teresa and M&S for greatness. Sampling Rose Royce's "Is It Love You're After" and maquerading it as the Chipmunks sings soul, Mr Perez and co turned out one of the cleverest, funkiest tunes ever created, so much so that you'd need dental records to identify the original sample. Genius! I thik so.

I remember Gilbert being interviewed on Radio 1 at the time and the number stamped on this is the Italian Gas board.
This album was no "train wreck", as stated. It captures all the energy you'd expect from Danny Rampling back in 1993. Sure, the mixing ain't too great but for me, this is all about the party vibe. The feel to this album walks over many perfectly blended CD's hands down and is a pretty accurate reflection of what you'd hear in most UK house clubs in this era. A great CD in my opinion. | ||||
Side One features the whole collaboration which was eventually released as LMC featuring Rachel McFarlane but contains the original version with the sample.
Side two is a mash up of Trick Babies Little Bird over Urban Cookie Collective's "The Key, The Secret".
