 Let me focus myself for a while to the recent release signed by the most ambitious faction of the Deep Dish Records, Shinichi. In principle there are two records but the same catalogue number and then one review as well. The author of the original, which (I don’t know why) appears on both records, is Holmes Ives, who constantly delivers musical stuff to Mr. Sharam and Mr. Dubfire. In the original mix, the Holmes hand can be noticed from the very beginning. It’s a characteristic ticking of drums and a heavily distorted bassline. After a while the vocal part appears, which immediately takes over meaning of the track. Since now the music does not change too much. However, the vocalist drives sometimes to the dangerous areas of the bar trash. The song is definitely not for me. The remix from Mark Knight and Martijn Ten Velden at the very beginning recalls in my memory this characteristic atmosphere of the “Afterclub” mixes, which I come back to even now. The composition is darker and much more complex. I wish the authors could take a risk to get rid of the vocal, as it ruins the whole impression once again. The same I can say in relation to Tommyboy remix, which in the musical layer is almost perfect, but the vocals are the same as in the other tracks mentioned. Full of hope I switch to the dub, which finally has also been equipped with Avalon’s voice. This is not funny anymore. But funny is the remix from Richard Earnshaw, because there are more or less fifty thousands productions of that kind. It’s even hard to write something more about it. Old, used in second-rate house clubs patterns. But the vocal finally fits here, which finally should be appreciated. Five remixes and all vocal ones. The worst thing is that Frost’s voice shapes with this music (except for Earnshaw's remix) like a sheepskin coat with a pig. I’m completely disappointed!
