Round One – I'm Your Brother

Luke Solomon in Faith Magazine (Defected), talking about his 'Space' party at Bar Rumba: "This will always feel like one of the songs that inspired us to do Space. It was the Space theme song - played week in week out - whether it be the vocal or the dub. We included the dub as Chez and Ron Dubs were very much Space signature. Kenny and me would fight to play them."

when i purchased this first time around in the mid 90's i immediately realised that this track would stand the test of time, many dj's and friends from all the Genres of house music purchased this record, that's how good it is and it still sounds fresh in 2021

The Club Version is one of the best [house] songs I've heard so far. Very uptempo, yet emotional.

Incorrect release date of Nov 94. From memory it must've been 6 months prior at least. One of the greatest vocals from a year that had many

The fact that Herb Powers mastered this is the cherry on top of what is one of the echelons of the progress of amazing dance music history

Something that no one has seemed to mention about the original MSR copies from 1994. All the pressings are translucent brown when held up to a bright light. Some folk have been trying to sell the reissue of this as the First press. The audio is bang on both sides. Back in the day, I'd drop the Chicago Twisted Mix along with Cajmere.

Wonder how Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus got hooked up with Andrew Cain? Two German techno guys and one 80s pop singer who only had one album and a few singles. Granted, he has a seriously soulful singing voice and was a studio/session performer on quite a few albums, but still - what was it that brought him to their attention?

I'm only going from my own experience with the quality of the pressings. I have all 4 of the catalogue released from the original press and all vinyls are quite thick with no problems with the sound at all. Must have been issues with re-releases.

People moaning about the pressing of this. It's how was meant to be. Rough, underproduced, raw, rugged house music. Thats how it was back then and thats what made these record what they've become. Use your EQ kids and then you'll be fine.

This is a timeless piece of soulful house that you should have. Thanks to a friend that owns Handsome zacks. I now have a gem that i've looked for and wanted in my collection. There's a personal story behind this record for me. By no means should you overlook this one.
Thanks Matt ( Handsome zacks/ Discogs)
