from the 12” single, Salsoul Records, 1979Sampled a zillion times during the disco-house boom in the late ‘90s, this burner off of Skyy’s debut LP chugs along at a sultry pace, smack dab inside the mid-tempo erogenous zone I’ve previously written about (go ahead, pump your hips on the beat and tell me the timing isn’t damn near perfect: not so slow that you loose the groove, but not so fast that you can’t keep it up for an “extended play”…); the remix here, by Larry Levan, is spacey as all fuck, which is wonderful for those of us plagued by severe synthesizer addictions, but also befitting of the cover photo for the album this single was culled from---it looks as if they are the crew who battles inside the ships from Galaga or Defender, the Atari-like laser effects bringing it all together hazily. Skyy really was one of the tighter bands inside of the disco-funk / boogie template, and I recommend any of their earlier albums to those who dig this track.
