Thanks for posting. I haven't head this for years.

A real gem.

Great track! Matthew Snowden aka Raffles was behind this project (he's the bald guy in the clip). Possibly the last music project he ever worked on before leaving the music industry. You might remember him from his cover of Feels Like I'm In Love and his original track Megabomb Bass :)

Thanks for the info - I didn't know that! I just found this on a Showbiz video I bought a few years back; I hadn't heard of it before then. I of course know both Raffles tracks (the videos are uploaded on earlier channels of mine). I plan on asking ARIA at some point if this charted (the chart extended to a top 300 or so at the time, so hopefully it did); curiously, it is not listed in the new releases lists in the ARIA Report.

@@ohnoitisnathan8095 I suspect it may have not charted. It was released on his own label through Shock Records. The track was released on 12" as well as CD and only appeared on 1 compilation to my knowledge.

Thanks for the info. This release does not actually appear in the ARIA Report weekly lists of new release titles in 1997. The chart extended to about/slightly beyond #300 in 1997, so it may have charted somewhere. Although Shock was a small label, they had several big hits with their releases in the 90s.

@@DanceMusicAustralia 4 years later, I finally asked ARIA. This did chart, peaking at #202!
