No matter, this is quite an interesting release whoever made it, sitting right on that house/techno border. It comes in three mixes: the Original has a funkier kinda feel, the Robot Needs Oil Mix is a little bit techier in a Berlin-ish kinda way and then the Curious George & The Agent Mix adds a little tribal/ethno flavour with its extensive use of hand percussion and, later on, a haunting, ethereal female vocal that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a 4AD record 25 years ago.
Whichever mix you choose, we're looking more at something for use in the mix than at a peaktime killer in its own right… but you can't just play anthem after anthem, can you?
Out: This week
