madrid de los austrias - mas amor

this one i discovered  through a compilation and it's a big favourite of mine. it's the combination of a really good instrumentation, clean programming and a memorable hook; both vocal and piano. there is almost nothing to not like as it just hits you really nice and sticks to you, almost...

the almost comes with that while i love the track and find myself humming the tune sometimes, it's bit on the sugary side and it doesn't have enough bite. also those lyrics, let's just say that some languages give you the freedom of singing all sorts of both sweet and twisted lyrics and they will be a delight in the mix.

carol c's vocal effort on this is lovely but yeah i liked it more when i didn't figure out most of the lyrics, but it doesn't detract too much of my liking. i don't even care that the tune is something that has a cafebar/lounge compilation written all over it, i still hold a deep place in my heart for this tune and think it's excellent.

i also recommend the remix by sergio flores' aka scientific soul, who got the resung vocals from the "weekender mix" to work with. that version was a bit more upbeat and had more of a swing to it and flores worked the groove nicely. a stonking funky house tune with a repeated flute riff and a chunky bassline set to a danceable rhythm. lovely
