This was just on the radio.
At first I thought they'd just sampled the sax from Dominion but listen on.....

Excellent. Almost feels like new material... (not really)
Is this new?

Answered my own question there https://www.discogs.com/Freestylers-Hap ... e/16327674

hah!

I quite liked it. I kept expecting it to go somewhere, and it didn't. But it's nice to think of young bods dancing to it somewhere.

I'm enjoying the idea of getting sufficient royalties from this that he can put off releasing anything himself for a few more decades. I look forward to hearing it among the cheesy dancefloor stuff at a party sometime soon.

'kin awesome

If there aren't significant royalties being paid on this, then it's pretty shameless.

I like it though. Very retro beat.

not the freestylers' best tbf

their first album is incredible

for eg



this one feels a bit pedestrian - as @MrChris says, it doesn't really go anywhere

Is this the part where I say "if they're going to be inspired by a Sisters song they should have picked YCBTO"?

Didn't he flog off his rights to most of the old stuff prior to the Rhino re-releases?

I was thinking the same. But, even so, shouldn't he be credited on the discogs page as a writer?

I totally agree, the first album is a blinder for sure, Every time I played it in my branch of Our Price I would sell at least one copy (which wasn't bad for a small market town store).

The second album was way more reggae/ dub/ dance hall than the 1st's electro/ hip hop/ breaks sound, but still a strong album, the third was pretty much bad drum n bass ish/ breaks stuff, with a few good tunes

I can't think of anyother band that have released 3 completely different sounding albums at all....

I gave up on them at this point as they made some real bad house stuff.

@Bonksi

love that first album's electro breaks. all the soul sonic force and public enemy stuff sounds amazing even now.

i have the third one too. yuk.

i never got the second (no idea why!) but might give it a whirl based on that recommendation

Its such a shame they have gone all housey now, great muscians/ producers, just bad taste in music, well , different to mine. If you loved the first album, you will like the second, I hope that you do anyway.

this one?

Anyone else got this track on repeat? I really like it.

That said, it should be called 'Dominion (Happiness edit)' A good half to two thirds of the track is Dominion.

@Quiff Boy Thats the one
