The first track is a Duck Sauce (A-track/Armin Van Helden) track which is a rework of the 1979 You Can do It (Anyway That You Want It).
Although there are no major differences from the older version, the modern production of Duck Sauce really brings out the groove where the original failed to do so.
The second track is a Fred Falke remix of Go Music Go's fantastic track, Warm In The Shadows.
This song sweeps me off my feet. It's like everything I ever wanted out of folk ballads and more. The acoustic guitar takes a backseat in this song, a rare and beautiful phenomenon in western music. The singing, especially in the chorus, will take you by storm, as will the surprisingly thunderous banjo and bass drum. This song and it's accompanying video are something to marvel at. The only problem is that, as one youtube commenter lovingly pointed out, the singer looks like a fat Hitler. The band hails from West London, they got together in autumn of 2007, and originally they were just a bunch of guys having some fun. Now they have promotional pictures and a damn good music video. We live in a good world.
If you like what you hear then you should definitely check out their webpage and buy their debute album, Sigh No More as soon as you can.
Alas, not phat in appearance, but rather in opinion. Culture! Cuisine! Couture!
