Semi Skimmed Edits Schallplatten & CDs

Review: As usual, there's no confirmation as to who is behind this edition of the Semi-Skimmed Edits series, but as the previous volumes were the work of scalpel fiend James Greenwood, it's likely he's made these reworks, too. There's plenty to admire throughout, from the grandiose horn arrangements, starry instrumentation and club-ready jazz-funk grooves of 'Tea For Two', and the driving, heavily orchestrated disco-funk hedonism of 'Boogie Drunk', to the Chic-style guitar licks and sweaty drums of closing cut 'You Control Me', whose swirling, filtered breakdowns will do a terrific job in spiking energy levels out on the dancefloor.

Review: The Semi Skimmed Edits label is back with another kicker, this time from James Greenwood. It is a fifth transmission form this label and it really bangs, with leggy drums and funk guitar riffs lighting it up from below. It's the sort of full fat, weighty disco-house tune that you can rach for when you need a bit old hit of good time grooves to get the party peaking once again. It's a limited hand-stamped 12", too, which always make it that much better.
