this one was from a cd called "the bionic boy" that i didn't know of but had seen in a second hand store for a while but i didn't know of the name milton jackson so i passed on it the first couple of times. but it was released on glasgow underground and for whatever reason i did buy it.
the cd is like most house albums and is pointless to talk about in that form since it's in most cases pieced together dancefloor cuts. jackson did however sequence it well and it's built in a fairly nice way and it has it's good cuts. i've also played a number of the tracks on it but this one i keep getting back to.
one reason is that it's quite funky but the main reason is it's sample of irakere's "chekere son" which was one of the my earliest entries. i love the irakere song and i think jackson did a great job at refitting to a house groove. he's taken use the wonderful percussive sounds but also the vocal parts.
but what he different from someone else doing a simple sample job is that the song shifts focus away from the original irakere song and take it in a slightly progressive route on the tail end of the song. makes of a more dynamic track because even though jackson built his track around the original it has a strong enough backing to hold on it's own.
