April 7, 1990: Miki Howard, Technotronic, Jamie Principle, The Motor City Techno Mob, Fallout

BEATS & PIECES

CHILL ROB G’s funkily chugging ‘Let The Words Flow‘ (109bpm) was, as flip to the Afro flavoured ‘The Court Is Now In Session‘ (100bpm) (US Wild Pitch Records WP 1011), in The Club Chart right through February and March last year and is now attracting renewed attention as the inspiration for Snap’s ‘The Power’ — of which, our own Alan Jones was first to realise, the female “you got the power” title line copies Jocelyn Brown’s ‘Love Is Gonna Get You’ acappella . . . Arista’s UK pressing of ‘The Power’, it must be emphasised, is an also Germany issued re-recording without the contentious samples of the very first import version — meanwhile, out here also is the brand new Snap introducing Turbo B. ‘The Power (Remix)’ (Arista 613 134), revamped by Sven Väth of Off into a now ‘Greyskull’ soundtrack introed more sparsely chugging Transformer Mix and alternative very different disjointedly jiggling Generator Mix (both still around 108¾bpm) . . . I wasted several hours while writing last week’s Mellow Man Ace review trying to identify the naggingly familiar riff that prods most mixes of ‘Welcome To My Groove’, only to remember too late (and in an instant!) that of course it’s from the Nite-Liters’ ‘K-Jee’, a 1971 US hit probably better known here as by MFSB (their revival being on the ‘Saturday Night Fever’ movie soundtrack) . . . ‘House Music All Night Long’ was of course by Two Guys On Acid, and it seems that the track I identified from the use of their refrain on the flip of the ‘Take Sting Away On Acid EP’ is merely that whole tune, unrestructured — while, as several readers have similarly pointed out, the Bo Diddley-ish guitar in Soho’s ‘No Hippy Chick’ seems to be from The Smiths’ ‘How Soon Is Now’ . . . The 1990 UK Asian DJ Mixing Championship finals are this Friday afternoon (April 6), noon to 7pm, at Brixton’s The Fridge, where not only the eight Asian DJ finalists but also Micky D, DJ Terry, DJ Pogo and DJ Indy will be spinning sounds . . . Radio Luxembourg 208 (1440 kHz) has just launched an “all-dance” Saturday schedule with new recruit Chris Forbes sandwiched at I0pm-midnight between Mike Hollis and Tony Murrell . . . AK will be the name of Andrew ‘Komix’ Komis’s UK label, as opposed to New Jersey Sounds which appears only to be for use in America . . . Roxanne Shanté’s two separate commercial 12-inchers split up her previously reviewed promo twinpack’s tracks (without including all of them) to couple CJ Mackintosh’s Hip Hop Mix and Hip Hop Instrumental (now both 120bpm) of ‘Go On Girl’ with his Hip Hop Mix (115bpm) of ‘Live On Stage’ (Breakout USAT 689), or CJ’s House and Yarr Gyee Mixes (also now 120bpm) of ‘Go On Girl’ with Mackintosh & Dorrell’s House Mix (about 115¼bpm) of ‘Live On Stage’ (USAF 689) . . . Frankie’s Favourite Garage Mix on the promo B-side of Tongue ‘N’ Cheek ‘Tomorrow’ will be out commercially as a separate ‘remix’, to follow Frankie Knuckles’ Warehouse Mix (which was the promo A-side) . . . Jeff Redd’s previously reviewed import album ‘A Quiet Storm’ is out here now on MCA Records (MCG 6086), while Professor Griff And The Last Asiatic Disciples’ ‘Pawns In The Game’ is distributed here by Greyhound . . . Public Enemy’s long awaited and often announced ‘Fear Of The Black Planet’ album really is due for UK release on April 17 . . . Diana Brown having long since left her Brothers, her upcoming excellent ‘Masterplan‘ will be credited to Diana Brown & Barrie K. Sharpe . . . Gee Street are gearing up to rush release Queen Latifah’s currently US issued ‘Come Into My House‘ even though its import sales are negligible in comparison with her ‘Mamma Gave Birth To The Soul Children’ UK hit . . . Archway’s Pure Groove Records shop staff head across town from the Holloway Road to Westbourne Green’s Woody’s in Woodfield Road this Wednesday (April 4) to host a one-off night featuring Ziad & Roots and guests, plus a “unique” live set by Lovejoy . . . Ann Peebles and David Hudson with the Memphis Horns are the live soul stars of the four day Caister weekender over the May 4-7 bank holiday, Guru Josh, DJ Tim Westwood, and an on-site fairground complete with dodgems being further attractions (£59 ticket info on 01-367 9118) . . . Jay Caulfield’s Saturday night residency at Newtownards’ Mingles has been going six years now and is “still the place for people who take their dance music seriously!” . . . Kym Daniels “plays it harder than hard” Fri/Saturdays at Swanley’s Hickorys . . . John ‘Nick’ Osborne has moved after five years from Purley’s Cinderellas Rockerfellas (where he’s replaced by Terry Adams) to Mecca’s new smart dress Ritzy in Kingston upon Thames . . . Jamie Tee is desperate for his gigs to be namechecked, Wed/Thur/Fridays at Barnet’s The Dandy Lion and Saturdays at Milton Keynes’ ZaZoo . . . Elephant & Castle’s free admission Archduke Charles pub (in Heygate Street of the Walworth Road) has Mike Howard Thursdays, Terry James Fri/Saturdays, Noel H Sundays . . . Rick Robinson and Scott Ellis plus guests like Leigh Taylor, Scott Warren and Paul Doherty house it up at Hullabaloo! every Thursday in Steamer’s Nightclub aboard the floating Tattershall Castle pub, moored off London’s Victoria Embankment (from personal experience, I doubt if they enjoy lugging gear ashore when the tide is out, and the gangplank virtually vertical!) . . . KICKIN!

HOT VINYL
Reviewed by James Hamilton and Streets Ahead

MIKI HOWARD ‘Until You Come Back To Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do) (Brixton Bass Mix)’ (97½bpm) (Atlantic A7935T, via EastWest Records)
Aretha Franklin’s lovely “I’m gonna rap on your door, tap on your window pane” Stevie Wonder penned 1974 classic, the hottest cut on Miki’s old import album (included also in its mellow 95½bpm LP Version), has been remixed here by Blacksmith with a much sharper episodic jiggle, and an added edge to the brief opening burst of now Miss C performed and MC Mello written rap, promoed well ahead of April 30 release and sure to be big by then.

JUNGLE BROTHERS ‘Because I Got It Like That (Ultimatum Vocal Mix)’ (Streets Ahead)

CARLTON ‘Do You Dream’ (Streets Ahead)

MOVEMENT .98 (Featuring Carroll Thompson) ‘Joy And Heartbreak’ (Streets Ahead)

PUBLIC ENEMY ‘911 Is A Joke’ (Streets Ahead)

TOUCH OF SOUL ‘We’ve Got The Love’ (Streets Ahead)

MK ‘Somebody New’ (Streets Ahead)

THE MAN WITH NO NAME ‘Way Out West’ (Streets Ahead)

JANICE CHRISTIE ‘Tell Me Who (Who’s Been Sleeping In My Bed)’ (Streets Ahead)

MC DUKE AND DJ LEADER 1 ‘The Final Conflict’ (Streets Ahead)

HUMANOID ‘The Deep’ (Streets Ahead)

TECHNOTRONIC featuring MC Eric ‘This Beat Is Technotronic (“My Favourite Club” Mix)’ (123¾bpm) (Swanyard Records Ltd SYRT 9)
Rushed out to rival MC B. featuring Daisy Dee (rightly, as it is the original version!), Technotronic’s inevitably typical though this time guy rapped rumbling and bounding signature tune ends its main mix in an odd tape slowing slur, beware, with Instrumental, Alaska Dub and Beats & Bass mixes too. All together now, pomp, pomp, pomp!

JAMIE PRINCIPLE ‘Date With The Rain’ (117½bpm) (US Atlantic 0-86222)
Principle penned, Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley produced surprisingly subtle funky drum jiggled thumping jumpy chugger which, thanks to Jamie’s lightly whinneying falsetto and the similar subject matter, seems reminiscent of Billy Griffin’s ‘Hold Me Tighter In The Rain’ without really being that much like it, in Hurley’s Club Mix, House Dub, and more tightly jiggling Hot Radio Mix.

THE MOTOR CITY TECHNO MOB ‘Ready To Roll It’ (126bpm) (SBK.One 12SBK 7007)
Kenny G-ishly saxed and birds chirruped rather good speedily bubbling ambient-new age-techno instrumental (with title line and other comments), in Club, Living Bass, and trickily less rhythmic Ambient Mixes, worth checking. Sadly there’s no mention on the promo label of anyone who’s involved — they deserve credit.

FALLOUT ‘The Morning After (Sunrise Mix)’ (121½bpm) (Azuli Records AZ 001, via 01-223 4563)
A ‘sleeper’ on Fourth Floor Records since 1987 until last year’s summer of love resurrected it, this Lenny Dee & Tommy Musto created bouncily buzzing synth chords driven, tones washed and flute tootled ambient flavoured (though lively!) instrumental skipper is finally out here — launching London based US DJ Dave Piccioni and partners’ label — in its simple original mix, flipped by an oddly more cluttered 1990 Edit (121½-121¼bpm).

GRACE JONES ‘Amado Mio (the 28th Street Crew Club Mix)’ (Streets Ahead)

TAFURI ‘What Am I Gonna Do (About Your Love)? (Silk On Steel Mix)’ (106½bpm) (Sleeping Bag Records SBUKR 20T)
Originally about in less impressive US mixes but newly remixed here by Steve Anderson, this now excellent sultrily expressive girl souled and strings swirled deceptively forceful jiggly driving trotter (Edit and beat-less Percapella too) has a Lisa Stansfield-ish feel and is already exploding on white label promo ahead of April 23 release. So good it’s gotta be huge!

ADEVA ‘Treat Me Right’ (Cooltempo COOLX200)
Grittily wailing as ever, Adeva’s breezily swirling strong bounder has been promoed in two back-to-back remixes, The Trumped Mix (doubtless titled after a certain current New York divorce case) and The Taj Mahal.

THE BELOVED ‘Your Love Takes Me Higher (Chillum Willum)’ (124-123½bpm) (east west YZ463TX)
Girl moaned and muttered twittery jittery Adam & Eve remix of the pioneering old acid pop tune, with a long ambient lull for its last part, coupled by an also new Baby Brothers remixed beefily hustling stuttery Calyx Of Isis (123¾bpm) vocal version, hotter than an initially released four-tracker (YZ463T) which merely recompiles last year’s piano thrummed bounding male vocal Deep Joy (124½-124¾bpm) and vibrantly quavering Simply Divine (124½-125bpm) mixes by Adam & Eve, Magic Juan Atkins’ twittery driving Rise Up Higher (124½-125bpm), plus producer Paul O’Duffy’s huskily vocal urgent throbbing 7″ Mix (124¼bpm).

JOEY NEGRO ‘Do It, Believe It’ (118bpm) (US Nugroove NG 045)
Pattering and chanting simple effective jazz-funk house canterer with a late Seventies flavour despite the modern mechanics of its creation, in Organic Mix, more ambient Urban Mix and Jeep Music, and twittery Mars Style versions.

RYUICHI SAKAMOTO featuring Jill Jones ‘You Do Me’ (US Virgin 0-96495)
With a maddeningly familiar lurching vocal melody (which, after wasting ages, I still can’t quite recall!), sweetly cooed and muttered by ex-Paisley Park recording artiste Jill, this is a slithery wriggling trotter in the rather empty Justin Strauss Remix (106¾bpm) and his Just Right Dub (107bpm), with a tighter 7″ Mix (107bpm) and very different thudding jiggly Froggy Mix (106¾bpm) — no relation to the UK DJ. I’ll doubtless have recalled precisely what it’s like by next week!

SUBLIMINAL AURRA (A Decongestant For The Mind) ‘No Stoppin (Zanzibar Mix)’ (122bpm) (US Fourth Floor Records FF-1111)
Victor Simonelli & Lenny Dee (The Brooklyn Funk Essentials) created four-tracker with this ‘Roots’ piano jangled and chimes jingled episodic jiggly driver, the twittery jittering repetitive ‘I Can’t Understand (Metro Mix)‘ (124bpm), and mystic girl and guy muttered ‘Ease The Pressure’ in contrasting drain gurgled snickety Mental Mix (119¾bpm) and long tempolessly started then amorphously quivering Hypnotic/Trance Ambient Mix (119½bpm) treatments.

BONEY M ‘Stories (Original Vocal Version)’ (93½bpm) (Arista 612 997)
As previously warned (so the fact it was promoed on anonymous white label shouldn’t have confused you!), a muttered, rapped, chanted, hummed and sighed cover version of Izit’s revival of the slinkily jiggling Chakachas oldie.

DAVID CHRISTIE ‘Saddle Up (1990)’ (117bpm) (Big Wave BWRT 31)
Kool & The Gang inspired 1982 pop disco hit now transformed by a jiggling funky drummer and new uncredited rapper, but still in its ‘Ladies’ Night’/’Get Down On It’-ish Original Mix (110½bpm) as flip.

THAT PETROL EMOTION ‘Abandon (Boy’s Own Mix)’ (102bpm) (Virgin VST 1242)
Andy Weatherall & Terry Farley remixed chunkily rolling dense “indie dance” churner with bursts of yowling guitar (and guttural yowling!) amidst the funky drumming.

INSPIRAL CARPETS ‘This Is How It Feels (Robbery Mix)’ (113¼bpm) (Cow DUNG 7R, via Mute)
Renegade Soundwave remixed surging sparse bass and percussion instrumental throbber, with an obviously even more percussively throbbing Drum Mix (116bpm).

PRIMAL SCREAM ‘Loaded (Remix)’ (93½bpm) (Creation Records CRE 070X)
Now intro-less, emptier more mournfully vocal Boy’s Own remix (not that anything on the label indicates this) of the ‘Sympathy For The Devil’-like weaving slow jiggler.

THE WONDERSTUFF ‘Circlesquare (Dance Mix)’ (103¾bpm) (Polydor/The Far Out Recording Company GONEX 10)
John Lennon-ish cynically droned Stone Roses-type jiggling gloomy burbler with the now fast becoming standardised “indie dance” sound, white labelled ahead of April 17 release.

UB40 ‘Kingston Town (Extended Mix)’ (102bpm) (DEP International DEP 35-12)
Gently pulsing introed pleasant uncluttered MoR reggae treatment of Kendrick Patrick’s attractively simple oldie.

Scram presents SHARON TAYLOR ‘I Need Your Lovin’ (Club Version)’ (113½bpm) (CityBeat CBE 1243)
Hardtimes Productions created beefily lurching UK revival of Teena Marie’s classic, with an Instr. Mix flip (113bpm), squeakily small voiced Sharon by coincidence being a receptionist at Jobete Music who publish it.

NEAL HOWARD ‘Indulge’ (128bpm) (Network NH 1, via 021-766 7311)
Kool Kat’s new label dedicated to progressive dance music (it says here) debuts with a good value 33⅓rpm instrumental house double-sider, this cheerful squiggly piping synth overlaid brisk instrumental thumper in Club House and Deep House Mixes being coupled by 1988’s drain gurgling machine washed frantic acid techno ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ (1291/4bpm) in its old Bad Boy Bill and Mayday Mixes.

JESUS LOVES YOU ‘Generations Of Love’ (124½bpm) (More Protein PROT 512, via Virgin)
Synth tweezled slow starting but then boomingly bounding strong throbber combining squidgy Indian percussion and a funky drummer, gently quavered by Boy George before infectiously toasting MC Kinky takes over to raise some raggamuffin sweat, with a more routine piano plonked B-side treatment (both sides mixed by Bruce Forest) on white label promo.

NIGERIAN NATION ‘African Morning’ (118bpm) (US Active Records ACT3070)
Kulonyak Asilmanga (kü-lon-yä äh-si-le-män-yä) “This Year”…the African tribe, Xhosas offer this song to their ancestors as a prayer for a better year, free from evil spirits. That’s what the sticker on the shrink-wrap says about the mournful distant ethnic chants that underpin this Troy Taylor & Charles Farrar created bass and percussion jiggled loose wriggly jumper with raggedly weaving gentle ensemble vocals, in four fascinating mixes.

JESUS JONES ‘Real Real Real (Rhythm 2) Phil Harding “Luxury” Mix’ (109¾bpm) (Food 12JJ 4)
Funky drummer pattered and bumped lurching typical “indie dance” jiggler doing a good job disguising the fact that its hoarsely harmonising singers are normally guitar popsters, the flip’s different even more smoothly and buoyantly jiggling (Rhythm 3) Ben Chapman “Spaced” Mix (110¼bpm) having also been separately pressed (Food 12JJX 4) flipped in turn by the harmonica sucking messier jittery frantic, presumably original, (Rhythm 1) Mike Edwards “Raw” Mix (110¼bpm).

HAPPY MONDAYS ‘Step On’ (105bpm) (Factory FAC 272)
Oakenfold & Osborne remixed beefily shuffling and jiggling retitled remake, by a now inevitably fashionable Madchester group, of John Kongos’ ‘He’s Gonna Step On You Again’ pop oldie, with jangling piano and gospel girls on the A-side though similar to the 1971 original in several respects (especially in the AA-side’s mix).

RHYTHMATIC ‘Take Me Back’ (122¾bpm) (0742 Records R1)
Presumably from Sheffield if the label name is a telephone area code, this very basic (no criticism) early Eighties-type thudding sparse episodically surging electro instrumental has a solid clean sound and refreshingly nostalgic appeal (to judge from the title, perhaps deliberate?), in Bass-Head, Bio-Rhythms, and Emphatically Not Ambient Mixes. Like it!

POP DANCE

PAT & MICK ‘Use It Up And Wear It Out’ (124¼bpm) (PWL Records PWLT 55), Capital FM jocks Pat Sharp & Mick Brown’s latest annual Help A London Child charity benefiting Stock Aitken Waterman produced disco classic revival remakes Odyssey’s oldie in suitably lively style with lots of female chorus (and not much P&M!);

DAVID BOWIE ‘Fame (House Mix)’ (114¼-114½bpm) (EMI 12FAME 90), Arthur Baker remixed chunkily trotting revamp of 1975’s white funk classic, now faster with JB yelps and other trendy trappings, or flipped on promo by Arthur’s tugging slow Hip Hop Mix (95-95¾bpm) and (closest to the original) jaggedly jolting Gass Mix (97-98bpm) — however, the commercial 12-inch apparently includes a DJ Mark The 45 King remix featuring Queen Latifah, so why the hell hasn’t the promo that too?;

MICHAELA ‘Take Good Care Of My Heart’ (123½bpm) (ffrr WACX 90), Ralf-René Maue (of London Boys notoriety) created good sturdily attractive Hi-NRG canterer multi-tracked by the ‘Wide Awake Club’ and ‘Hit Man And Her’ TV shows’ Michaela Strachan;

SINITTA ‘Hitchin’ A Ride’ (130½bpm) (Fanfare Records 12FAN 24, via Pinnacle), likewise Ralf-René Maue produced, Pete Hammond mixed frantically flurrying Hi-NRG treatment of Vanity Fare’s 1969 pop oldie;

SONIA ‘Counting Every Minute (The Don Miguel Mix)’ (124¼bpm) (Chrysalis/PWL CHS 12 3492), “wooh yeah” prodded then inevitably bright and breezy (and trite) galloper;

DEBORAH HARRY ‘Sweet And Low (Remix)’ (121 bpm) (Chrysalis CHS 12 3491), remixer Phil Harding pares down an attractive “sayonara” cooing wriggler with 1988’s funky drummer hip house rhythm and some sirens;

QUINCY JONES featuring Al B. Sure!, James Ingram, El DeBarge & Barry White ‘The Secret Garden’ (32/64bpm) (Qwest Records W9992T), breathily tender crawling romantic smoocher swapping around its guest vocalists through two Sweet Seduction Suites and an Erotic Garden version;

ROB ‘n’ RAZ with LEILA K ‘Rok The Nation (Rok The Dance Floor)’ (108½-108¼bpm) (Arista 612 971), lurching jiggly pop-rap rumbler, also in a more starkly percussive SweMix Club Version (108bpm) amongst other mixes, not that hot on dancefloors to date.
