Reviews
- Rain Forest was all over the place in 1984 - a massive tune. Now I like to think of it as "fourth world" ;-)
Everyone goes on about Rainforest but Soundchaser was the one on this EP. I was 14 years old wearing Sergio Tacchini tracksuit with Puma Boots. Back Spinning everywere lol. From the great days of Electro Hip Hop and the Streetsounds Albums which went crazy all over the world.
Love "Rain Forest" but, trust me, "Sound Chaser" is the "BOMB" here! Tough electro groove and excellent vocoder by Paul! All-time classic12inch, a must-have for the oldschool electro-funksters out there!!
Rain Forest is an aboslute gem. beautiful atmosphere, awesome vibes. a true must have for every early house lovers!!!
