12 Inch 18.03.09
upcoming talent from detroit and moscow meet on this first remix ep, based on the jason fine album, our music is a secret order. first out is the grandson of moscow - anton zap, with a remix of the track half. in the hands of anton, the original is present but with a major zap stamp on it. bent and quirky sounds, warm harmonies and baseline are edited into great house music. it is not often a remix out stands the original, but this time it might be the case. on the b-side luke hess gives his blessing to the dub track midwest_n. as the name implies we are going for a deep techno ride to detroit. with scientific perfectionism, hess approaches the dance floor, mixing warm sound-scapes and dub-cords with driving melodies, cymbals and claps. the result is once again elegantly produced mind transforming dance music. anton zap made his entrance to the house music arena through jus-ed and his underground quality label

reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.
