When at the begin of the nineties, downbeat was quite a mainstream style, most of all thanks to people like Soul II Soul, this was one of the many pleasant tracks around, it never become majorly successful, but it was a quality class act!

Matt Bianco - More Than I Can Bear (1984)
The first phase of the long Matt Bianco career is in my vision their best one, the vocals of Basia were formidable as soloist and as background. This is one of the best things they ever did, a slow jazzy groove with very touching vocals and a wonderful trumpet solo in the break, this was mixed by the popular Phil Harding, here is a rare extended remix for the smooth-souled in da house!!!

Sara Carlson (?) - Walking In The Rain (1989)
Another one of those "mysterious" White labels, this is a extremely well produced cover of "Walking In The Rain" by Flash and The Pan and brought to success by Grace Jones in 1981, the (handwritten) sticker on the record credit this to Sara Carlson,
a dancer/actress from the end of the eighties, so being this record released at the same time, it make me believe that is correct, but like with all the white labels, you can never be totally sure.
Another element that make the track pretty "unique" is the possibility to be played at different speed, at 45rpm is a house track with high pitched voice, at 33, is a moody downbeat tune with
low tone vocals that declaim the wonderful transfixing lyrics, and that's the way we propose it to you!
