"I almost felt like I didn't have any feet!"
Mazi (Audio Soul Project) takes it harder and funkier, and throws in some great flanged dropouts at choice moments in the sample. It's a Bill and Ted-type dude giving it a "beautiful" spiel about his first and only time on mushrooms. In the wrong hands, this idea could easily have ended with cheesy or predictable results, but this one hits the spot big time with numerous memorable lines. Up there with Preacher Man for quotability.

I would imagine most people that understand this comment will already know Luomo, but think Basic Channel meets Theo Parrish, maybe with a touch of Herbert. Tracks on the CD are semi mixed so as to flow into one another. Highly innovative use of vocal samples and other motifs that twist, mutate, and flow in and out. Consistently high quality throughout. Superb.

My pick is Think Dark. Its got that overall 80s flava that's kind of still a la mode but instead of those morbid monotonal Gary Numan-impression type not-very-clever-and-not-particularly-interesting type vocals that plague electroclash/glitterpunk, we get some golden-age Prince soundalike. Funks it up a treat. A goodie!

Ron was 15 years old when he made the original. Still sounds fantastic, but the stripped down strings+riff Carl Craig mix has had more mileage since. Fabulous intro - hairs on the back of the neck stuff. The Terrance mix mutes the riff to take it deeper and nastier, inspiring Slam's "Positive Education" in the process. Essential package.

Detriot-style deep techno track that was big on the dancefloors back in 94/95. Simple yet instantly recognizable riff makes this one a real gem. Caned by every decent techno dj at the time. Comes in at 130-135bpm.
