i found the reissue of pansoul a while back and was quite chuffed to find that. i'm not going to say that i knew much about motorbass but i had heard a few tracks and liked their type of house. philippe zdar and etienne de crécy had this approach to making tracks that was almost kdj-esque.
their style of sampling wasn't as rough as their contemporaries and it had that nice druggy vibe to it. i particularity like their remix of björk's "isobel" where they built the whole thing around a huge chunk of the supreme's "my world is empty without you", compelete with ross' vocals and all. but they twist it around and overlap it with their own sounds and it sounds really nice.
this one was one of the tracks that i couldn't stop listening to when i first went through the album and it was just that nice atmosphere and groove that got me hooked. it uses a billie holiday vocal sample but i only figured that out after reading a discogs comment and hearing the original version on soundcloud.
the original is much more deep but this version adds a bit more bounce and rhythm. i know this version contradicts what i said about their sampling not being as rough but i don't care. both original and album remix are good tunes. the rhode loop that carries the track out along with the bass are quite infectious. the drums pack quite a punch and those rides and percussion grooves is saying all the good things to me.
tune is quite simply, french funk. as it should be. support and bang it out, it'll work even today.
