Nice surprise record, hadn't heard this until now. A-side tracks are FM-synth sound house, similar to those from the mid-90's like Boo Williams or Glenn Underground on Relief and Djax. B1 is disco sampling house tune and B2 is minimal Dance Mania... See full review

"Queen Pierre" -I guess- is some kind of poke at DJ Pierre and his wild pitch sound. "PMS" is flirting with the US Hard house & Dance Mania sounds of the time. If you want to rage some feminists, then play it. Others are just bored. This is a DJ tool... See full review

No, I dig this too, 4 stars from me :)

Perhaps the corniest record in Dance Mania catalog. It's not that bad, when you concider all Christmas songs are a special niche, either you love or hate them. Most of the time they are kitsch, and this is no exception. One wonders though what was... See full review

Yes, there were inside-out reversed sleeves with other Desire records as well. Way to save money I guess.

Oh my God. "Dance with me" Sullivan mix is like some proto Murk boyz stuff, with infra-level bass and down pitched male vocals. If someone told me this was a Miami production from the early 90's, I would have believed it without hesitation.

Back in 1994 everyone was on the Basic Channel / Phylyps trak trip, so there were a lot of techno records utilising that metallic sound. This is a fine example.

Whow! What a cool record. Cover versions of early 80's famous hits, but with a twist. The point is that there is heavy vocoder use in just about every track. "Jeopardy": I hate the original, but this puts a smile on my face. Stoner electro jamming par... See full review

Song's second writer Clarence Reid did a very naughty cover version of "Free to be me", using his Blowfly alias.

This 12" is basically the same record as Loose Touch's - Bad of the heart, that came few years earlier.

I was however surprised of the versions on B-side: "Bad Of The Heart (1990 Club Remix)" makes use of some 303 bass lines that made Barbosa &... See full review

This borrows heavily from Thompson & Lenoir's ‎– Can't Stop The House from the same year 1987. The vocals are so and so, much more interesting are the mostly instrumental versions with echoed bleepy sounds and minimal drums. Especially "Whopa mental"... See full review

This is an OK cover version of the Phil Collins track. 3 stars. Typical early 90s mid-tempo breakbeat background and chill sounds and vocals. The vocalist sure sounds like Dora Carofiglio, I'm pretty sure it's her.

Italodance version of Zeppelin's classic. Either you hate it, despise it, or spin it as a cool satirical DJ to an audience that rolls their eyes in disbelief. It's all there; cheap "electric guitar" synthsounp, perky italovibe with the easiest... See full review

There was a short period of time in the very early 90s when there was a bunch of these "hypno-house" records released. Like it was a mini genre. Some sampled actual hypnosis LPs intended for therapeutic use (Orbital - Deeper), some sampled movies with... See full review

The sound quality is top notch on this reissue. Pressed by MPO. The other side plays at 45rpm, D-rail side at 33rpm.

Jesus God... Like Aphex Twin once said: It's a thin line between taking the piss and being serious. This is one of those records. "Italo" sure... but with a finnish angst suicide twist. More wavey old skool italo circa 1983-84 this is, like Decadence... See full review

I have to disagree with NWpunx's review of the B-side. It's obviously a piss take on disco music, and a decent one at that too. Sort of pre-wave collage, that mixes old school retro music styles with "funny" lolita-esque vocals, groovy synth sounds... See full review

"On the telephone"... is rather basic wave pop tune, nothing special. There's tons of similar stuff out there. "Ma'king love" is more interesting, proper stoner disco for exclusive parties. Think of darkrooms, bath houses, sleazy bars etc.

It's Discogs fishing. Some will bite, 'cause they young and don't know where to search.

It's not that bad :D I guess they were going for that Jimmy Somerville vocal sound.

Any idea on the original of A1? Some late-70s / very early 80s U.S. disco with strong female vocals; "love potion", funky synths, string orchestration etc. Heard it years and years ago, can't remember what the hell it was...

Hmm, I usually don't bother commenting the prices on Discogs, but this needs en exception. Why the ridiculous over-the-top prices for such a mediocre record? The record is "OK" at best, the edits are basic, nothing to write home about. You can easily... See full review

Nice underground sounds from Turku! Suiciders cut is commando-electro with dark end-of-the-world flavors, while Type-303 delivers heavy beats and distorted 303 basement boogie with jackin' vocal chops. No B.S., straight to the point.

"A Moment With The Mind" is a surprisingly ambient tune on this record. Quite smooth actually. Sounds a little bit like those early San Francisco break ambient tunes. "Bailando Guitarra" is very typical 90's dutch perky guitar sampling up-tempo house.... See full review

Anyone watching the good old "Predator" movie from 1987 will instantly recognise the aliens' snarling and growling sounds, and the eerie music that marks the predators presence. Yes, FSOL started "Liquid insects" with straight samples from the movie.... See full review
