this all time classic from erick morillo & louie vega gets the rmeix treatment from the big boys of now! an anthem all over again

recorded live at the montreux jazz festival, switzerland, june 28, 1974.

a funky peak hour pair of goodies. doo kicks off the ep with its rubbery bassline, keys, jerky rhythm and sustained strings that provide the male chant, doo doo doo a comfortable bed to bounce on. the meat of the track contains a lengthy piano solo by antonio di mauro driving the point home. full of drops and fills that build the energy then releases it ferociously. anthem is exactly what the title suggests. it is another 2am jump off (musically that is!) jam. the deep bass & dense kick supports the 80s styled chicago jackin snares, the persistent hi hat and intermittent piano strikes meshing well with the watery bleep sounding keys and string stabs. the melody of the bass gets redirected as the twinkling keys create a sense of tension for the samba ish breakdown. nimble fingered, antonio di mauro is at work again, producing a sound reminiscent of patrick adams styled keyboards from his legendary phreek lp. ends cold. supported by: dj spen, deli g, roger sanchez, joey negro, dj pope, kenny carpenter, franck roger, dj yass, master kev, mark stone (udm show), groove assassin, sven love, davidson ospina, dj dealer, timmy vegas, dan (liquid people), deep josh, danny marquez.

conforming to abnormality unveiled a style of extreme metal that was completely unique in its makeup: blending mind melting guitar technicality with inhuman drumming, a wildly schizophrenic vocal attack, smatterings of jazz sensibilities and devastating sub bass blasts.
