Corona is primarily known worldwide for her (their?) hits "Rhythm Of The Night" and "Baby Baby". Few people know that the verses of "Rhythm Of The Night" are taken straight from an earlier release by Dutch duo Say When! entitled "Save Me", and that the chorus of "Baby Baby", itself a remake of the Joy & Joyce song "Babe Babe", utilizes samples from Siedah Garrett's "K.I.S.S.I.N.G." as it's chorus.

While no one would accuse Vanity of having a great voice, when one listens to the production of these songs now, it amazes at just how of yet ahead of it's time the production was. This is the sound that newer acts like Chromeo and Peaches are looking to emulate, a funk/synth/rock hybrid.

Shep Pettibone lifts the bassline of Rockers Revenge's Walking On Sunshine and slides it behind Eleanor's smooth vocals (and animal noises!), transforming a fairly average worldbeat song into a slow, scorching house-ish oasis. One of his best mixes by far.

This song was originally done, and to much better effect, by Uncanny Alliance on their album. Brinsley Evans, who remixed the track here, is one half of this group.

If you like Vanity 6, download the song "Vibrator". It was recorded for the "Vanity 6" album, but was left off. It would have fit perfectly, as it has the same new wave/funk beat, and saucy lyrics. Yes, it's about what you think it is, with a hilarious cameo by Prince in the breakdown and Vanity once again perfecting her moans. There is also a demo version by Vanity of Apollonia 6's "Sex Shooter" that should be looked for. I think it's better than Apollonia's version...

For anyone interested in Ms. Lords (who isn't), read her autobiography, Underneath It All. Aside from recounting her porn past, she discusses making the 1,000 Fires album and her attempts at being a DJ. To get "Control" played at a club, she said she awkwarded climbed over a barrier and forced herself upon Paul Oakenfold while he was DJing, begging him to play the record. Indeed he did, and it became one of his favourites at the time, causing it to become a minor hit.

This song is based around a slowed down sample from Joyce Sims' version of (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman, from her All About Love album. Good job!!

Dominator has to have mastered the most evil music ever. Slow, drudging and minimal noise, with quietly growled spoken vocals (mumbling about death, torture and sex) and occasional sound effects (screams, clangs, etc.). The music sounds as if it is piping in distantly from a dungeon just above the bowels of Hell. I dare anyone to throw a Dominator CD on and listen to it alone in the dark. Truly frightening, and for me, almost unbearable!

I just got my hands on this, and I was pretty disappointed. This is a great song, but unfortunately someone (David Morales perhaps?) decided to add a load of background singers to the mix, muddling Pauline Henry's excellent vocals. The album version is far better, in it's stripped down form. The mix of Underestimate here makes it worth it, though!

"All Night Long' is a acid-jazzy remake of the Mary Jane Girls hit.
