WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS ARTISTS ‘Jackmaster Vol. 2’ (DJ International Records/Westside Records JACK LP 502)
Double album of traditional-type alkaline (rather than acid!) house, tons of it, the soulfully sung 113¾-113½-0bpm TARGA with SHAWN CHRISTOPHER ‘Love Invasion’ and “elephant trumpeting” jittery 0-116bpm MASTERS AT WORK ‘Dum Dum Cry’ being the only exceptions to the norm amongst the 124bpm FAST EDDIE SMITH ‘Jack To The Sound’, 118bpm HOLLYWOOD AND THE HEAT ‘I Need You’, 122bpm ROCKY JONES ‘Choice Of A New Generation’, 121¾bpm JOE SMOOTH ‘Inside My Mind’, 120¾bpm EX-SAMPLE ‘And So It Goes’, 119-0bpm SECRET SECRET ‘We Came To Jack’, 125⅔bpm PROFESSOR FUNK ‘Box Head’, 126bpm ANTHONY THOMAS ‘Promised Land’, 120½-0bpm BLAKE BAXTER ‘Work’, 131½bpm ANDRE OWENS ‘Destiny Of Love’, 124¾bpm THE CHILDREN ‘Brothers Gonna Work It Out’, 0-120¼bpm PETER BLACK ‘My Love Is Free’ – apart, that is, from Colin Faver’s UK-created 0-122½-122⅔-0bpm megamix of FX ‘Faith Hope & Charity’, and the bland girls overdubbed 123⅔bpm JACKMASTER BLACK ‘DJ Mega Track’ and 120½bpm JAMIE PRINCIPAL ‘Prince Of House (Baby Wants To Ride)’ medleys.
