who are the system? is this different than the mechanic's "sweat" on techno hop? the alliance's "sweat" on freshline (out of berlin)? there sure are a lot of electro tracks called "sweat" out there... sc

Re-pressed (vs repressed), really? It ain't that good, why not repress "Electric Kingdom" or something. This record has years of sleeve wear and no copyright date, it is hard to think it is a recent repress...maybe that was the point...plus it was in a pile with Landmark's first LP ('80, the first Simmons drums I recently learned!) and a YMO record.

I listened again and my comparison is not that valid, because the system use those funk claps (not oberheim dmx though) and portamento slides. The System are these funk guys who had one funk-pop hit in '82 called "You're in my System". I wouldn't bother with this record unless you find an instrumental dub, in which case you can mix it between Egyptian Lover and Heaven 17... the vocals are too prevalent. solenoid@europa.com <------+
