this track which originally was the b-side to "da funk" was some other shit really and it was shocking to hear this side of bangalter. he's often associated with heavy filter-funk but something that is just the hard 909 he usually employs was something that looked towards the other side of chicago. it's sort of techno but it's hard house as well and i think the fuckall genius of the track is summarised to: one hard beat, a stabby note sequence and some distortion.
in one of the best interviews i've read with guy-man and bangalter was by fredrik strage and was done in '96-'97 for a swedish music-mag. they talked a little about how "da funk" was done after listening to nothing but g-funk for a week and how the album shaped up to be and how they didn't want to put that single onto the album but virgin thought it wouldn't sell otherwise. he also said that he thought that most producers in techno should listen to toni braxton's "unbreak my heart" and listen to the strings.
