terry's original was a big hit both in the clubs and the charts and i think it was the combination of a snappy hook and two divas; jocelyn brown and martha wash belting it out to the fullest. terry had worked with both of these womens vocals on other tracks, notably 'jumpin' and 'carry on'.
i had the original on a compo but was quite chuffed when i saw the cdsingle in a bargain bin. however the fact that i'm one of those tards that aren't pleased until they get the 'right' version of the single wasn't that happy since there was a better single out there and had loop da loop's downtown mix aswell. but the uptown mix was well worth the price of admission.
it's quite '97-'98 and has all of the trimmings of uk house and garage and whatever armand van helden had released earlier that year. it's this big room 4x4 garage joint laced with ragga vocal samples and jocelyn's and martha's vocals tweaked to make it sound more 'sampled'. it's quite fun and i think it's quite kitschy to be blunt about it but once that big bass hits. it's gravy.
