a classic bit of space disco from the french scene of the 70s. four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great! the work here would fit nicely with some of the best keyboard heavy club of the us scene at the time! not exactly like some of the work on p&p, or the grooves of el coco over at avi - but not that dissimilar either, and often put together with a spare, simple approach thats a welcome contrast from overblown disco of the time! most numbers build up from a funky bassline and beats - adding in the keyboards with great relish, and really letting them jam and get crazy over the top. theres certainly a bit of cosmic fusion going on here too

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard
