House-Review: Sandy Wilhelm - Always On My Mind

Label: Excess Music Limited Testpressing [EL07]
Mixes: Always On My Mind (one sided vinyl)
Useable or Best Mix(es): Always On My Mind

Refers to: Always On My Mind

Style: House (French Deep Club)

Mix-In: Long beat-only with some percussive synth, then break.

Drive: French bassline is pumping, but it's still very decent/deep though, dreaming along kind of stuff. No vocals. Synth brings some action, but nothing fancy.

Beat: Standard stuff.

Quality: Best vinyl quality as expected from Excess Music, even for limited testpressing. Mastering is OK, but it sounds a bit flat near the high frequencies. But it's still OK.

Break-Down: Boring ... like all the other tiny breaks.

Mix-Out: Main theme is flipped in and out, then filtered out until there is only beat and some guitars left.

Comment/Opinion: With a bassline what I call french-pumping, this track should be banging. But it's not. There is too few going on (missing vocals and variation), no real action builds up. You could play it between all the other boring Daft Punk tracks, which are nice, but not spectacular. This track is really nice music, but it's not blowing you off the pants.
