Inner City – Good Life LP

Following the success of his 'Big Fun' single as Inner City, Virgin Records pressed Kevin Saunderson to provide a similarly sizable follow-up. So, with a couple of synths, a TR-909 drum machine and vocalist Paris Grey, he conjured up 'Good Life' - a track that was, if anything, even better than its predecessor. It remains a must-have classic, as this remastered reissue proves. Saunderson's original mix - all instantly recognisable stabs, squelchy bass, gentle acid lines and positive vibes vocal - kicks things off on side A and is followed by Carl Craig's more stomping and sweat-soaked 199 remix, which sticks closer to his own take on Motor City techno. Saunderson's beefier, percussion-rich 'Dub', first featured on the KMS issue of the single, completes the package.
