WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
THE D.J. FAST EDDIE ‘Jack To The Sound’ (US DJ International Records DJ# 1015)
Consistently strong fairly acidic and frantic house compilation (many tracks having been on 12 inch already) with the Todd Terry-type ‘Think (About It)’/’Cross The Track’ and other samples woven jumpily rapping breakneck 126bpm ‘Yoyo Get Funky’ standing out from the 123½-0bpm ‘Acid Thunder‘, 123⅔-0bpm ‘Hip House‘, 122⅔-0bpm ‘I Can Dance‘, 123⅔-0bpm ‘Let’s Go‘, 125¼bpm ‘Keep On Dancing‘, 123¾-0bpm ‘Can U Still Dance‘, 123⅓bpm ‘Jack 2 The Sound‘, 123bpm ‘Clap Your Hands‘, 125⅓bpm ‘Funk Makes You Move‘, there being more variety than the similar looking tempos might suggest. UK release on December 5 (DJART 902, via Westside Records) will be shrink-wrapped with a megamix by Double Trouble of all the tracks.
UK copies of The DJ Fast Eddie’s LP (DJ International Records DJART 902, via Westside Records), as warned when reviewed on import, include a Double Trouble created ‘Jack To The Sound (Megamix)’ of its tracks, 0-122-126⅓-0bpm, which is strange, as nothing on the album runs quite as slow or fast as those outer parameters!
