Hey QUEEP, you probably noticed by now that these forums don't handle HTML or BBCode. I'm one of the mods, I tried to tidy your post so people can at least copy and paste the links OK.

As for the 90s quip... shit, look at the state of indie music...

Mmm. It didn't make me grin - actually I found it kind of creepy - he sounds like some old hippy on a home made meditation tape you might pick up at a new age fair.

These types of monologues make me gag - a mix of primary school poetry and earnest self affirming mumbo jumbo.

When I'm at the club
It's around me
My mind is open
My inhibitions set free (?)
Experiencing what is here
It's my beat
It's my people
It's the music that makes me who I am
No one can tell me what to do
No one can tell me who to be
This is my connection
Where I belong
Where I am tonight
Nothing else matters
It's the music that makes me who I am

I guess I'm finding this interesting because I thought that people had stopped making this kind of rubbish. But I suppose it's no more stupid than the nonsense on the new album by 'The Killers', just a different kind of nonsense.

Isn't one of the good things about electronic music the progression of new forms? Although this kind of music may well become trendy again in the future in a of kitsch and jokey kind of way, I can barely comprehend how anyone has the gumption to try and keep proliferating it today.

first up Jet! thanks so much for sorting that out... im no wiz myself so got lost in the code jungle :0 muchos gracios!

nice debate goin on, tho i have to say ive been listening to it for years, and myself have been waiting for some totally new genre to pop up out of nowhere for the past decade... i suppose my own spin on it is that every generation or so we get a bit of a revolution musically, and something decent happens... dance music back in the late 80's was the last time it happened for me... tho u could say that the rise of hip hop and rn'b in the 90's was one of those things... not sure tho, cause it aint had much effect on my life...

anyhows, this release is not meant to be groundbreaking in any way, just a good solid diverse house release... but have to say the kiwi accent (thats done very well) is something a bit different, and thats one of the things that made us grab it

the orig mix does have a slightly retro feel for sure, for a more up to date sound check out the da fresh mix, its the sort of style thats the choice of most jocks are toying with nowadays, if the charts on the ownload stores are anything to go by, bit of an electro vibe.

have to totally disagree with you mansion on the words of the track, i think they are quite cool, and would be uplifting with a totally mashed crowd, its all feel good vibes really, thats what its all about, something to make you smile when ur on the floor, I think ur thinking a bit too deep on it, this is designed for dancefloors & thats the real test of how it would work... people sippin pints & whatever else they are doin wont be thinkin that deep.

bob u could be right, but i personally think its the level and styles of production that seem to be houses main progresion over the years.

thanks for all the comments, nice to read all the interesting opinions, like a good debate, fire back if you like :)

finally Jet, thanks for the heads up on where to post! means a lot!! gonna try that out now
