Man, what a tune. Still sounds great today.

This is classed as a techno/trance tune, but i first heard this played by one of the diy djs, pitched down a long way as part of a deep house set in the early 90s. Digs & whoosh or jack. trancey as hell, from a time when trance wasn't a dirty word.

Its got a rising riff that puts a great big smile on your face and the whole vibe just hooks you in. And it just goes on and on.

What more could you ask for?

Great ep from Russ Gabriel, who imo doesn't get enough respect for the stuff he and his label were producing in the early to mid nineties.

The two tracks on the A side are the standouts. Wake Up To The Source is a lovely track with deep piano and strings over a pumping bass and driving, mutating rhythms.
Key Follow has a similarly deep vibe, with house drums underpining a shimmering melody.
Both sit in that (at the time of release) grey area between house and techno - and really they're not tech-house either. Sound great on a large bass lead system.

The AA isn't so good. Colin Dale's remix is 'Funky/Jazzy' without being either if you get me. Adventures of a New Jack just kind of doesn't work, the ryhthm keeps catching you out, sounding strangely too quick for itself.

Check out the Control EP for more of the same.

Most will have heard Martin's A-side, 'Sad Piano', which got acclaim and club plays from all over when it was released. For me, though, it's alright but nothing special. Jimpster's remix on 'We Are Silver' is a far superior tune.
The B, however, rocks. One for the end of the night, not the begining, for the hillside party not the centre-of-town disco, it's a deep, dark bass-lead groover, with a quirky, wonky vibe. Warmth with a touch of menace.
Very original.
