a while ago i picked up hercules and love affair's album "blue songs" and it was with a couple other albums but i knew that i wasn't going to be dissatisfied. given the nature of me i wasn't completely after it as a whole entity but the tracks i could work in mixes and the likes. since hercules and love affair are great at making sort of throwback early 90's music i wasn't displeased as i listened through it all. songs like "my house", "falling" and the track that precedes "visitor" on the album, "step up" is great material for that cause.
but it wasn't that kind of house music that took me for the biggest surprise and the track i fell in love with the most. that would be "visitor", although the closer that is a ballad-type cover of sterling void's house classic "it's alright" is also brilliant. "visitor" has a complete different style from the dancefloor-type cuts being that it glance more to belgium and the sort of grayarea between body and acid house/techno.
the vocal changes between a sung vocal and more chanted/spoken one with a darker feel. i think they have drawn influence from phuture's "rise from your grave" or "your only friend" even though the message in this song is much different. it's telling you to dance, enjoy yourself and lose it to the music and that's a good statement for a club track even though it's not the most original one. it will help with that bassline and the hypnotic motions of the music and i'm always up for a strong groove.
basically if i may quote the song: "it's time to bump".
