- There's a techno track released in the late 90s that samples this. It's going to do my nut in that I can't remember what it was. I don't think it was Umek's mechanism series. But it might be.
- At least one of the background tracks caused by the pressing flaw is K. Joy - My Phone.
Can anyone identify the others? - I wonder which version I have? The ink on A side label is extremely dark but still noticeably blue, "WORK IT TO THE BONE" and all the text below that point are so dark they appear almost black. The ink on the B side label starts in the same extremely dark manner but "IT'S A MYSTERY TO ME" and all text below that are in very light blue ink, almost as if the printer was running dry of ink. "HOUSE JAM RECORDS" and "LNR" are printed in very dark blue ink on both label sides. The original white die cut card sleeve (shrink wrapped) is a recycled and repurposed LP cover of this release Destruction - Mad Butcher, turned inside out. The vinyl is dark purple translucent when held up to strong light.
- i have the version on House Jam and the vocal cut is messed up. it sounds like there's a second recording cut into the record at lower volume underneath. it sounds like a sped-up record is playing at the same time. i'm not insane.
- A total classic house jam. The percussion is perfect jackin' material. The lo-fi production is magnified by the fact that there seems to be obvious tape noise in the background!
- The original and the best. This had the same impact on the house scene in 1987 as Moby's "GO" did in 1990. Everyone was like "Hey, what the f*%k is that, who's done it and where can I get me a copy! So minimal, so tribal, sooo deep....whenever I hear that vocal line and those analogue drum patterns it always brings a smile to my face, I never tire of hearing it, no matter what mix it's used in(and there have been quite a few to date!). I was in Phonica today and there was a new mix banging out of the sound system(white label by?)and I bought it without a moments hesitation, just like that! it's still that good, it's a piece of house music history and will rock any party without exception.
- Edited 17 years agoWhenever people talk about House with Tribal influences, I will remember this early House tune from 1987, later sampled by the Italo-House act Cappella on "Helyom Halib" on the end eighties.
The percussion here has clear tribal influences and a minimal environment; its importance lies on the fact that, when you remember that 'House Of Gypsies - Samba' was a classic of the genre from 1992, you'll have an idea of the impact caused by this tune back in 87 - "Come on let's work it to the bo-bo-bone!" infested the dancefloors Worldwide, and was later included on several important compilations of the genre, such as "House Nation vol 2", "Jack Trax - The Sixth Album", "Deep Heat 89", "Rhythm Zone Vol 1", "Best Of House Music Vol 2", among others - thanks to Larry Thompson & Rick Lenoir.
Despite everything said above, "It's A Mystery To Me" had a more avant-garde essence and is the recommended tune for the connaisseurs on this 12 inch. - This is not as good as Capella's "Heylom Halib" which uses the same "Work" sample. People used to get these two tracks up. It is quite minimal compared to Heylom Halib. I do not have this 12", but if I find it, I'll definitely buy it. It's another early house classic.
