R&S Vinyl & CDs

Review: Was there a more influential dance record released in 1992 than Jaydee's 'Plastic Dreams'? The work of a hitherto unknown Belgian producer called Robin Albers, 'Plastic Dreams' is an epic in every sense of the word: a near 11-minute workout built around sustained, suspenseful bass tones, increasingly intense house-tempo breakbeats and an instantly identifiable organ riff that morphs into wild, freewheeling soloing midway through. It's been remixed countless times over the years, but it's the sweaty, breathless, constantly building original mix that remains the timeless, peerless version. If you don't own a copy, we'd advise you to snap up one of these single-sided reissues, which come pressed on to eye-catching 'splatter' patterned vinyl.
