![]() Tough: Quite monotonous and repetitive and surely one of the weaker tracks on the album. The verses with the synth pads and strong vocals have an insane groove, the chorus itself, however, I see slightly weaker compared to PUTJ. Get Up (Before The Night Is Over): Stylistically very similar to "Pump Up The Jam", but for my feeling a shade weaker than its predecessor. Even today, I think the track still sounds quite excellent. There were a number of imitators that tried to copy the sound, but they never reached the class of the project by Jo Bogaert from Belgium.įor me it is a crystal-clear 5 star rating. It was a very special symbiosis, culminating resulted in this song. Technotronic had their own style: Beginning with the distinctive synth sounds and the springy bass, rhythm section with its hi-hats, snares and claps up to the voice of Ya Kid K. Pump Up The Jam: An absolute classic and role model for the entire dance scene of the 90s and beyond. The weak point of the album are the last 3 tracks, all have a filler feel to it and they prevent this album from getting a 5 star rating. Right now we face the same stuff in the electronic music scene already for decades, and honestly, not that much does change. Because it was already in 1992 when the sound changed relatively quickly into euro dance and the old style never really came back or had any chance to develop (was possible imo!). Sometimes I even feel that this Hip House style was not completely exhausted. I like this unique style that Technotronic had at that time. When I listen to the songs today they are creepy refreshing to me somehow and stand out clearly from the monotony of todays electronic music in mainstream - despite the age. ![]() ![]() In addition to the distinctive synth / rhythm elements I would also like to praise the voice of Ya Kid K: She has a wonderfully clear and unique voice which gave the tracks its special flavor. I can only emphasize how unique the style of this project was, the entire production was top notch and sounds still excellent today. Even next to the singles really good tracks found it's place on the album. An excellent album and a pioneer of the entire Hip house and later dance scene. ![]()
