It's wholly common and mindlessly predictable for tunes to resurface in freshly made packaging, shiny enough to send eager 15 year old bodies dressed in trackies to their local store - the Internet - to spend their pennies. I in no way openly condone the illegal downloading of music, yet I wouldn't feel obliged to deter consumers away from becoming a minor criminal by halting revenue for this remake.
Without a doubt, there have been some credible remixes played across worthwhile nightclubs by purposeful DJ's, a couple of examples being 'Be vs Show Me Love' by members of The Swedish House Mafia where soulful vocals slide nicely alongside a heavy, innovative house beat, or even Dizzee's use of a rave classic in his new single 'Dirtee Cash' where there's enough change brought on by lyrical genius to profess good use of a yester-tune.
Every now and again there will be an updated release of an era-defining classic - in this case the original'Finally' prompted a significant change in my teenage mideducation, which incorporated happy hardcore and mature cheddar trance. I was locked in by a lack of knowledge, basking in a Britpop afterglow and born into a pre-modern town where this kind of scene was revelled in.
The original version of 'Finally', by respected trustees of house music The Kings Of Tomorrow, has been hijacked and transformed into something that quite literally makes me feel a little bit sick. Two reasons why this induces vom in my mouth; one) for taking the soul out of the original production of this tune, and two) for almost taking away from me what I give credit to as being a monumental factor in changing my musical identity.
K-Klass by name are remembered for their early 90's originals 'Let Me Show You' and 'Rhythm Is A Mystery', which were hits for the team of four lads who met in the holy grounds of the Hacienda. However, remixes of pop acts such as S Club 7, Geri Halliwell and Samantha Mumba detract likability away from their hay days, and reminds me of the initial blow upon first hearing this updated version of 'Finally'.
Hopefully, this tune won't make too much of an impression on humble dance floors, though on YouTube I'm left cringing at a little proof of positive reaction received for the terrible in comparison vocals and pestering, trance-like stabs to the heart of a beat.
If anything, at least you can sing along.
Enjoy!
