Mr. Fingers - Ammnesia (1989)

"May Jack have mercy on you blasphemers! The song that you are referring to is old school Chicago House by none other than the legendary Fingers. I believe that the 12" came out on Trax records, and is virtually priceless due to the inclusion of the acapella, which used to be played at EVERY house function.. Ya know the peak of the evening, when you and everyone else are just as out of your heads as you're going to be, and the DJ throws on that HYPE break (it used to be Elevations by Expansions or vice versa, now I don't know what the peak break is anymore..) anyway, what 'they' used to do is throw on the acapella of that song, at which point everyone in the house would stop dancing and gather in a huge circle and hold hands then raise the hands to the stars... THEN, the DJ would drop the fattest beat in his/ her crate and the whole circle would just start jumping like mad.. Quite an amazing feeling - I wish that they still did it - that track is the perfect anthem for the house generation/vibe. I can't even describe the feeling of everyone in the house having cut loose their bullshit games and just riding the vibe of love and sharing - the energy of several hundred people coming together as one and rejoicing is something that we rarely get a chance to experience in this day and age (now you know what my idea of a good rave is) which is what is so special about the house movement/techno nation.. Word has it that some of the deep house dj's in NYC still religiously play that track, and religiously is an apt word indeed. Oh yeah, the track is "Can you Feel It" and can be found on the "In the Key of E" comp as well as the Trax records Fingers, Inc. double album If you find the original 12", consider yourself blessed (although it must have been bootlegged by now)."

Wat slordig dat dit album als 'Amnesia' op deze site staat, de cover vermeldt duidelijk dubbel "m".

het is zowel met dubbel m als met een n: Ammnesia dus.
