Released the same year as Kylie's Better The Devil this was another record that served the Lizard lounge for many many years. Incredibly exciting song and guaranteed to get the dance floor jumping. We only played the remix version of this song. And the only other song from the band we played regularly was Jane Says.
A lot of people loved this band. Really loved up. Except for the two tracks mentioned above I never cared for them at all. I tried to listen to the album it was on but it was just a horrible bunch of tuneless squealing noise to me. Over egged and overrated. Even the theme song to Entourage gets painful after a while. I think the key to my dislike of this band is the voice. If I can't listen to the voice I haven't got much chance of liking the records. Being a not so tuneful singer myself I guess I might be shooting myself in the foot. When they came to Melbourne that's all anybody talked about for weeks. I had to keep telling everyone I wasn't interested in going. Really.
Anyway none of this takes away this fabulous record when happily his delivery and the great remix and the general feel of the song comes together to make one of the best alternative dance songs ever made. And the level of excitement it creates when the needle drops into the groove hasn't dissipated. Brilliant.
