One of my favourite vocal house records of all time and the vocals don't start until halfway through the track. But the wait is worth it as Davina Bussey sweeps in from behind some piano work with a voice that oozes sexual desire. When she sings "Don't You Want It, Don't You Want It, Don't You Want It" i think any man or woman on the planet would be hard pushed to say no.
Behind the vocals Mad Mike from Underground Resistance builds the backing track up gradually hi-hat by hi-hat using 2 great riffs before easing the piano and strings in to proceedings which lead up to the midway point when Davina can take over. Veering between breathless whispering and the more insistent nature of asking if we want her love she masterfully manages not to overpower the music and become too diva like.
Released in 1992 on Underground Resistance sub label Happy Records i first heard this in 1996/7 when my friend managed to track down a copy of the reissue on Soul City which he had bought after hearing Laurent Garniers classic Mixmag DJ mix from 1994. The reissue now goes for £20.00+ in mint condition and the original £25.00+ but luckily is was repressed in 2002 and even bootlegged in 2007 so it is not hard to track down these days.
