February 24, 1990: Mantronix, Sweet Exorcist, Fine Young Cannibals, Vandal, Quartz featuring Steps

BEATS & PIECES

LISA STANSFIELD, in full live concert for the very first time anywhere, is confirmed as the star attraction at Livewire Promotions’ four day (April 13-16) Easter weekender at Prestatyn, where (with more names to be confirmed) other attractions will include an appearance by David Peaston, the Soul II Soul DJ crew including Jazzie B, Jazzie Q and Aitch B, two guest KISS-fm jocks, and the addition of Simon Dunmore to the legendary regular DJ team in order to strengthen the soul front, which will be re-emphasised with probably a room of its own (bookings/enquiries on 01-364 1212) . . . March 30-April 1, however, boasts two earlier weekenders, Upnorth Promotions’ sixth musically orientated ‘Blackpool’ event being actually at Southport this time with deep soul star attractions David Sea, Garland Green and Jesse James plus probable rap and jazz acts along with DJs like Tim Westwood, Colin Curtis, Richard Searling, Bob Masters, Simon Dunmore, Bob Jones, Norman Jay, Hutchy, Sylvester, Billy Davison, Ian Clark and many more (bookings/enquiries on 091-389 0317), while KAOS Weekends’ latest rave at Great Yarmouth features DJs Pete Tong, Nicky Holloway, Graeme Park, Mike Pickering, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, Jazzy M, Andy Weatherall, Johnny Walker, Fat Tony, Fabio, Phil Perry, Alfredo and Steve Bicknell (credit card bookings on 01-364 1666, enquiries on 01-392 2922) . . . Arthur Baker And The Backbeat Disciples’ Silly Games’, in its Bonesbreak and Hacienda Club Mixes (reviewed last week), turns out on commercial pressings to be only the B-side coupling for the John Warren sung pop radio-aimed ‘Last Thing On My Mind‘ . . . Kath Canoville is currently updating the club and pirate DJ mailing lists at Nation Records, 19 All Saints Road, London W11 1HE (01-792 8167), with several “World Dance Fusion” releases in the pipeline . . . Edinburgh’s Ian Robertson and Alan Gibson hope to follow in the footsteps of Bill Grainger (now busy managing Big Fun) by setting up a new promotional mailing list (product sources unspecified at the moment) just for DJs in Scotland and Northern Ireland, Dance Department, PO Box 700, NWDO, Edinburgh EH4 4UL (031-551 2477/3025 or Fax 031-555 1010) . . . Northern Ireland’s Charlie Dickson does a rundown of Record Mirror’s Club Chart during his Saturday 3.30-7pm show on Radio WABC 101.7fm (“the only station in Ireland playing the chart that matters!”), right after which he jocks live at Portstewart’s The Anchor Club . . . Tongue ‘N’ Cheek appear with DJ David RB and MC A.W.I. from the Trax Production Posse (TPP) next Wednesday (28) at Soho’s Jacqueline’s in Wardour Street . . . “Up here in Manchester you have the choice of either Hard House or Hip Hop, fair enough but there is more to life!” — so says Greg Fenton, who with Justin Robertson and guest DJs hosts the Euro/Balearic Sunday night members only Spice at Manchester Piccadilly’s The Cavern . . . Torquay’s DJ Jay has started a specialist “dance music” evening on Sundays at Teignmouth’s newly refitted Bugsy B’s . . . Earth, Wind & Fire have teamed up with The Boys and — yup — gone swingbeat for the upcoming ‘Heritage‘ (103½bpm) . . . Falkirk’s Brian (DJ Baz) Sneddon (looking for gigs on Larbert 557437) rightly reckons that Fourth & Broadway should remix in 1990 house style, or at the very least just re-release, the still influential Wally Badarou ‘Chief Inspector‘ . . . Alan Coulthard’s latest remix for the Music Factory subscription service is an Olimax & DJ Shapps rivalling new version of Indeep’s ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My Life’, speeded up to 120bpm although the vocals retain their original pitch . . . IT’S SUCH A GOOD VIBRATION!

HOT VINYL
Reviewed by James Hamilton and Norman Cook

MADONNA ‘Keep It Together’ (Norman Cook)

MANTRONIX ‘This Should Move Ya’ (Capitol EST 2117)
Featuring his new (sometimes foul mouthed) rapper Bryce Luvah, Curtis Mantronik’s latest eagerly awaited album has the JB beats jiggled sinuous ‘(I’m) Just Adjustin’ My Mic’ (99¾bpm), chatting also JB funked ‘This Should Move Ya‘ (108½bpm), Sixties piano prodded smutty ‘Stone Cold Roach‘ (105bpm), jittery new jack swing ‘I Like The Way (You Do It!)‘ (109¾bpm), Ian Dury’s now rap adapted ‘Sex-N-Drugs And Rock-N-Roll‘ (109¾bpm), P’funkily rolling ‘I Get Lifted‘ (97¾bpm), sombrely scratching ‘Get Stupid Part IV (Get On Up ’90)‘ (98¾bpm), Todd Terry-ish churning hip house ‘Don’t You Want More‘ (118bpm), Isleys scream punctuated chugging ‘Tonight Is Right‘ (118¾bpm), and Wondress wailed smash ‘Got To Have Your Love‘ (105¾bpm).

FOSTER McELROY ‘Around The World In Eighty Beats’ (Norman Cook)

SNAP ‘The Power’ (Norman Cook)

THE FAMILY STAND ‘Ghetto Heaven’ (Jazzie B Remix) (Norman Cook)

CREW CUTS ‘Crew Cuts’ (Norman Cook)

SWEET EXORCIST ‘Testone’ (125½bpm) (W.A.R.P./Outer Rhythm WAP 3, via The Cartel/G+M)
Distinctively introed by a solemn “Everything’s ready here on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones”, this presumably Sheffield recorded sparsely bleeping and burbling simple electro instrumental is pronounced as “Test Tone”, but with ‘Testtwo‘ and ‘Testthree‘ variations on the flip, and is taking off like a rocket!

FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS ‘I’m Not Satisfied’ (London LONX 252)
Promoed in four mixes, the chunkily bashing pop mix (116¾bpm) bears little relation to the Prince Paul remixed ‘Stone Fox Chase’-type harmonica and Stax riffs backed Nicci Bowie rapped New York Rap Mix and datedly soulful Roland Gift whinneyed New York Singing Mix (both 116¼bpm), while, different again, Nicci B’s lean undulating funk jiggled The Nicci Version (116½bpm) has had most attention being separately and notoriously promoed under the name ‘Mother F**ka’ (a comment that punctuates it)!

VANDAL ‘The Laws Of Chants, Volume One’ (US Nugroove NG-040)
Constructed by ‘Vandal’ with live overdubs by Peter Daou, this basically instrumental hot New York house five-tracker has the powerful jazzily chugging ‘Go Back To The World’ (120bpm), jerkily stuttering Latin, Arabic and other elements scratching ‘I Love To Dance‘ (121 bpm), and shufflingly locomoting ‘Amazing Grace‘ (122bpm), more acidically flipped by the swirling staccato ‘Walk Through The Same Ol’ Door‘ (120bpm) and looping skittery ‘Industrial French‘ (123bpm), the latter title punning on “industrial strength”.

QUARTZ featuring Stepz ‘We’re Comin’ At Ya’ (119¾bpm) (Mercury/iTMusic ITM 212)
The ‘Meltdown’ makers return with a simple sparse skipping house burbler, punctuated by a “come on and get you some more” girl but otherwise instrumental in the flip’s basic Amnesia and Club Mixes, although given a hip house-type rap by Company Two’s Stepz in the main Wrapped Up Mix. Meanwhile, the same East Londoners have also produced and mixed

CLUBLAND feat QUARTZ ‘Let’s Get Busy (Pump It Up)’ (121¾bpm) (Swedish BTECH HANG 1)
This moaning guy chanted sturdily driving episodic pounder being really rather stronger, flipped by an Art Of Noise ‘Moments In Love’ reinterpreting multi synth layered jogging ‘Beat’n The Art Summer Of Love Mix‘ (95bpm).

MAN MACHINE ‘Man Machine’ (Outer Rhythm MMAN 1T)
Old fashioned early ‘electro’ type simple bassy synth tones pulsed and rototom pattered lightly thumping instrumental (with a Cybertron intoned title line in the best vintage style!), in The Forgemasters’ Cyber-Subsonik and Elektro-Genetik mixes (122½bpm) or Man Machine’s own much meatier, more excitingly twittery Elektronik-Automatik (125½bpm), now right for raving.

MALCOLM McLAREN ‘Call A Wave’ (98½bpm) (Epic WALTZ T5)
Remixed in Italy by Massimino Lippoli and intriguingly combining the two big moods of the moment, rather as do Innocence, this girl muttered ambient jogger has the sort of atmospherics we’re used to hearing at house tempo but here set to a Soul II Soul compatible beat (alternative flanged and phased flip), so it could be huge when out commercially next month!

DREAMHOUSE ‘I Can Feel It’ (118bpm) (US United Sounds Of America USA 915)
Jauntily driven by a familiar bubbly old bass pattern, with a similarly familiar girl group title line refrain and other 10 years old-type touches, this cleverly infectious Joey Longo creation is in only marginally different Club, No Fun, Fun, and Raw Mixes, worth checking.

METRO ‘$1.15 Please’ (US Nugroove NG 035)
Referring to the cost of a New York City subway ride now, this Rheji Burrell created instrumental is differently treated in twittery bashing Rush Hour (120bpm), attractively ambient Brownstone Express (121 bpm), acidically snapping Straphanger (127¾bpm), and friskily bounding Turnstyle Turbulance (126¾bpm) versions, another from the label with a ready following.

LIAISONS D ‘Future F.J.P.’ (123½bpm) (de/Construction Records PT 43376)
A Belgian new beat group long championed by Mike Pickering and now released here thanks to him, with this moody organ introed then skittery synth swirled instrumental backbeater flipped by the robotic monotone chanted more urgently driving ‘Heartbeat‘ (120¼bpm) — the latter’s repeatedly emphasised title being a wordplay on ‘hardbeat’, its current musical style.

TASHAN ‘Black Man (Club Mix)’ (93bpm) (OBR 655640 6, via CBS)
“How in the world can anyone think cheese is the only food?” is a typically chilling line from this mournful Soul II Soul-ishly jogging lament about the black experience, flipped (at any rate on seven inch) by his album’s more amorphously jiggling ‘On The Horizon‘ title track (108bpm).

ALEX CHARLES ‘lt May Be Winter Outside’ (95½-95¼bpm) (Sir Lloyd SLT 1, via Jet Star)
The semi-falsetto former lead singer of Ladies Choice revives Barry White’s attractive Felice Taylor/Love Unlimited oldie in lovely lush harmonies supported sweetly swaying style (and three mixes), already mashing up the floor at soul clubs.

STONEBRIDGE ‘Jazzy John’s Freestyle’ (97¼bpm) (German SWEMIX SWE 5)
Steadily selling though not always easy to find on its original Swedish white label, this piano plonked and jazz organ counterpointed bassily tugging Soul II Soul-ish instrumental jiggler, now it’s fully labelled, is revealed as being in Short Dub and 12″ Dub Mixes, flipped by the synth chorded tumbling techno ‘Put Some Dayeene On The Scene (Original Demo)’ (121½bpm).

EMMA HAYWOODE ‘Need Your Lovin’’ (104½bpm) (Boss Records BOSS 12 001)
Duetting now with her rapping brother Mellow-D instead of with Rick Clarke (as she did previously on RCA), Sharon ‘Sid’ Haywoode’s sister soulfully worries her way through rather a good bumpily buoyant dense Soul II Soul-ish swingbeat jiggler, like early Jackson 5 at times (dub flip).

CHILL ROB G ‘Make It (Vocal Remix)’ (118¼bpm) (US Wild Pitch Records WP 1017)
A DJ Mark The 45 King produced/co-penned rap double-sider, this officially B-side but — to judge from early reactions — hotter unhurriedly striding bass burbler being remixed by Nephie Centeno (Instrumental Remix too), while Pasemaster Mase & Prince Paul remixed the brassy funk jogged wordier ‘Let Me Show You (Vocal Remix)‘ (100¾bpm), also with an Instrumental Remix (100bpm).

3RD BASS ‘The Gas Face (Radio Mix)’ (102bpm) (Def Jam recordings 655627 6)
Pressed here on milky green vinyl, good humoured conversationally chatting MC Serch (sic) and Prime Minister Pete Nice’s lazily rumbling roller is flipped by the more determinedly wordy ‘Wordz Of Wizdom (Death In The Afternoon)’ (103bpm) and its alternative sharper ‘Wordz Of Wizdom a.k.a. III The Hard Way (Club Mix)’, but was promoed on US import with extra mixes.

HUNTER HAYES ‘What Goes Down’ (117bpm) (US Columbia 44 69205)
Luther/Alexander-ish, and possibly even Rick Astley influenced, moaning baritone soulster’s staccato electronically rattling canterer with bursts of DJ Donnie Vee’s scratching and MC Daquan’s rapping in the Down And Dirty Mix and Midnight Rap Groove, or more soulfully facile Radio Edit, Club Mix and Drumapella treatments.

BIG DADDY KANE ‘The House That Cee Built’ (Norman Cook)

CANDY FLIP ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ (91bpm) (Debut DEBTX 3092)
Whatever next?! Believe it or not, the Beatles’ psychedelic smash now gains a Soul II Soul-type rhythm in this Dizzie Dee & Ric Peet produced eccentric treatment, otherwise an accurate remake of the original, coupled by the piano plonked mournfully doodling ‘Aqua Libra‘ (105¼bpm) and calm ambient/Hi-NRG ‘Can You Feel The Love‘ (120¼bpm).

MR. LEE ‘Get Busy (1990 Remixes)’ (124½bpm) (US Jive 1330-1-JD)
The exciting hip house hit from before Christmas now in a new nervily bounding Lidell Townsell Mix, plus Maurice Joshua’s chiming Da Rebel Instrumental, Hula & Krazee ‘Fingers’ Craig’s organ chorded Da Posse Instrumental (just these two instrumentals being on a promo here), and the Original Radio Version (124¼bpm).

ICE-T ‘You Played Yourself (Remix)’ (99bpm) (Sire W9994T)
With a message that means “don’t blame society for your own mistakes”, this sombrely sinuous wordy rap actually credits James Brown’s ‘The Boss’ for its samples, coupled by its Remix Instrumental and (98½bpm) LP Version, plus the deliberately dirty words crammed jumpy ‘Freedom Of Speech‘ (116¼bpm).

THE LEGEND ‘Can You Feel It’ (119½-120½v bpm) (Champion CHAMP BOO T)
Created by Alan Coulthard (in the guise of DJ Alfonso Cool, an attempt to make the original white label promo look genuinely Italian!), this Champion material megamix ranges from Raze ‘Break 4 Love’ through the ‘Pump Up The Volume’ mix of Sybil ‘My Love Is Guaranteed’ and Toni Scott ‘That’s How I’m Living’ to end in a Todd Terry mishmash of Royal House ‘Can You Party’, Hardhouse ‘Check This Out’ and the like, coupled by an actual Raze Megamix (119¾bpm) woven from ‘Break 4 Love’ and its various derivatives.

PARADOX ‘Jailbreak (House Tip)’ (124bpm) (Ronin Records R2, via 01-226 1555)
Out fully last week, the Rhythim Is Rhythim ‘Strings Of Life’ prodded scrubbing, scratching and murkily rapping jiggly driver has a different more fragmented break beats woven jumpier ‘Jailbreak Beats‘ that’s proved to be more exciting, flipped by the jerkier burbling gruff rapped ‘Soul Feels Free‘ in Vocal and Sureshot Club Mixes (121 bpm).

SIGMUND UND SEINE FREU(N)DE ‘Erdbeermund’ (121¾bpm) (Parlophone 12R 6243)
Glenn Miller ‘Moonlight Serenade’ broadcast started, then — yup! — it’s once more unto the German muttered poetry for a more ‘French Kiss’-ish “wooh yeah” prodded thumpingly chugging alternative interpretation of the ‘Cherry Lips’ concept, with in fact a plainer French Kiss Mix (119½bpm) and 7″ Mix (119¼bpm).

FISCHERMAN’S FRIEND ‘Money $ (Orb Clubmix)’ (109¼bpm) (EG EGOP 51)
The remorseless Teutonic Beats of Stefan Fischer (so it’s not a misprint!) and his German chums have been remixed here by Jimmy Cauty & DJLX-Dee to rumble more languidly through this dialogue studded episodically surging roller, flipped (on promo at least) by a harder edged slower presumably original version (108bpm).

ALTERNATIONS ‘Feel It For You’ (119½bpm) (RCA PT 49304)
Dave Morales mixed breathy muttering punctuated twittery unhurried Raze-ish rambler, slightly slower here and A-sided in its jerkier Indian Summer Mix, with just its Jungle and Planetary Access (Edit) Mixes too.

DEPTH CHARGE ‘Bounty Killers’ (95½bpm) (Vinyl Solution STORM 13, via SRD)
Chucklingly started and shoot-out finished, “man with no name” spaghetti western dialogue and gunfire overlaid odd episodic thunderingly tugging instrumental weaver on the 45rpm A-side, flipped at 33⅓rpm by its drier thrumming Death Is Ma Name, Measly 1000 Bucks Version and fragmentary The Bit In The Middle variations.

DOOM ‘Shake Your Body Down (Hurt Me, Hurt Me)’ (123½bpm) (Profile PROFT 276)
Grandmaster Flash produced young Brooklyn rapper’s breezily looping hip house churner, with a Dub Me, Dub Me (123¾bpm) too, flipped by the familiar jazz-funkily driven calmly rolling ‘On We Go‘ and its Instrumental (97bpm).

APHRODISIAC ‘Song Of The Siren’ (122½bpm) (Champion CHAMP 12-238)
Ronald Burrell’s atmospheric seagulls and waves washed, occasionally guy muttered, good gently pulsing ambient house instrumental (in appropriate Atlantic, Black Sea, Mediterranean, and Nautical Mixes) is currently imported on US Nugroove (123bpm) but due here on February 26.

TROY TAYLOR ‘The Way You Move (Richie Rich Radical Reconstruction)’ (100bpm) (Warlock/Gee Street GEET 25, via The Cartel/Demix)
US recorded but Richie Rich remixed good Bobby Brown (and at times Stevie Wonder)-ish sung and rapped bumpily jogging swingbeat jiggler, with original thinner Character and Overtime Mixes too.
