U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 91
Backstory: This British Acid House and dance group was formed in London in 1988, and disbanded in 1994. The group consisted of Mark Moore, Pascal Gabriel, Jocasta, Mark D., Michelle, and Sonique (Sonia Marina Clarke). Their first single, this song, was a big No. 1 hit in their native U.K. and was a Top 10 hit around other European countries and was a No. 1 U.S. Dance hit, but surprisingly was just a minor blip on the actual Hot 100, peaking at just No. 91 there. They released quite a few more minor hit singles (a couple of which also made the Hot Dance Club Play Charts, but not the Hot 100.) Moore went on to form a band called Needledust, and released many solo singles and albums on his own.
The review: Well, this is very gosh darn awesome! The beats and samples, along with the female vocals and cool synths and vocal effects make this one a classic in my book! Shame it somehow stalled so low on the Hot 100. A very cool record indeed!
Final rating: 9/10
