Review: Utah Saints - Something Good '0812 March, 2008 — Stuart Brown

Utah Saints Something Good 08

Ah, remixes. Naught better during lean times to fall back on resampling old classics - and I must confess, I'm a bit of a fan of the old classic Utah Saints' Something Good. It takes me back to a more honest age of computer music, rough-edged samples and synths, with more of an exploratory sound.

Sad indeed, then, that this particular classic - despite the familiar Kate Bush sample - has just been doused in mediocre electro with an over-compressed club-friendly beat.

I love the original, but this is just nostalgia for clubbers. You might be better off scouring eBay for the original 1992 12" release.

Overall

What next?More by Utah Saints? More reviews? More rave, or dance, or electronica?
