future breeze - heulender wolf

this one is on the b-side to the single "read my lips" and it was one of those tracks that future breeze used to do before scoring a hit with the pizzicato riffing "why don't you dance with me?". all the songs on the "read my lips" ep had that acidy trance sensibility that le petit prince was known for.

which explained why they were on the label but their later tracks were on alphabet city but the thing is that it's all in the same label umbrella. the alphabet city label (who is founded by marc romboy and klaus derichs aka marc et claude) had a trick that they did on their releases.

that trick isn't limited to them but to many labels and acts (jam & spoon were infamous in doing this as well, see "right in the night"/"follow me!" and "angel"/"can you feel it"), used it with certain releases. the trick is to put out an ep or release and have a quite (or really) commercial a-side and then have a couple of cracking b-sides that were for the underground.

you can then score a hit on charts that'll give the artist/label some commercial recognition and also have some underground appeal. it should be noted that this trick also came a high price as too much of these shenanigans will destroy all your credibility as a serious producer (that is if one was trying to have the cake and eat it too),

in this case "read my lips" were joined by "heulender wolf" and "islamic nights", two stonking acid trancers that are on point and well deserving to be played out. "heulender wolf" starts with a wiggly acidline and carries on in that fashion, quite boshy but it's my kind of bosh. "islamic nights" is tamed down in relation to the former and tones the acid down but is also a good track.

now for some reason heulender wolf isn't available for purchase since that hasn't been put up on digital yet but "islamic nights" has since that was included onto future breeze's first album "why?".
