this one is a cover of house classic 'french kiss' by lil' louis and that track was infamous for it's breakdown where louis burns slows down the track and has an orgasmic female vocal sample playing.

it's a great tune with an infectious riff and bassline and it's spawned so many imitations, remixes, remakes, covers, bootlegs and whatever else. the most infamous one is josh wink's version in 2000 which was a banging techno workout but fred avril's version stays more true to the original concept.

i remember being recommended this by this flamboyant israeli guy named alon klein (aka psy-t and derek) back in '04-05. we used to talk online alot and he like me was an acid aficionado but he was really liking the acid. he made this 400 minute acid set that was quite infamous. anyhow, the hard sell he gave me was "french kiss meets acid breaks" and i was sold. i heard it then and loved it.
this version is quite subtle in the beginning and has an incredible buildup. the first bit is melancholic and it sounds like fred avrils usual soundscapes and then slowly one hear filtered piano chords and the french kiss bassline and then bang. it kicks in mighty fine and just builds until it breaks down into this calm before the storm. the last bit is quite ott and intense but it's so compact so it works. fred avril nailed it with his version.
