WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS ‘The Garage Sound Of Deepest New York’ (RePublic Records LIC 10 LP, via Rough Trade)
If nothing else kicks the “garage/deep house” trend into touch, this double album of previously released material will! All in long versions, there are the 118¾bpm Philly flavoured soulfully leaping BLAZE ‘Can’t Win For Losing (Kevin Hedge Mix)’, Marshall Jefferson produced 118-118½-116½-116¾-116½bpm sassily cantering KYM MAZELLE ‘I’m A Lover (Manny Lehman Club Mix)’, currently re-imported 118¾bpm moaningly nagged ARNOLD JARVIS ‘Take Some Time Out (Club Mix)’, Colonel Abrams-ish 123¾-124-123⅔bpm jittery pshta pshta-ed JOE CHURCH ‘I Can’t Wait Too Long (NY Club Mix)’, Blaze produced 122bpm gruffly soulful steady pshta pshta-ed EXIT ‘Let’s Work It Out (Performance Mix)’, Serious Intention-ish 0-118¾bpm burbling TOUCH ‘Houselights (Album Mix)’, currently massive 0-116bpm piano nagged jittery hypnotic weaving TURNTABLE ORCHESTRA ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me (Club Mix)’, also huge 0-121bpm fabulous soaringly bounding PHASE II ‘Reachin’ (Brotherhood Mix)’, “strings” sawed 124¾-124⅔bpm jerkily thumping RUFF NECK ‘Feel The Music (Power Mix)’, plus a Manny Lehman compiled bumpily surging ‘Mastermix’ (fluctuating only fractionally around 117½ before finally peaking at 121½bpm), designed to illustrate the WBLS/KISS-fm style of Saturday night dance party New York radio sessions in which the music is strictly garage/disco/Philly.
