Technotronic Album: “Like This [Single]”

Like this is breath of fresh air in the dance music world filled with meaningless Technobeat with no specific direction. This song brought back the good memories of the 70's by using a sample of the classic "clean up the ghetto". Monday Midnite's freestyle story about his experience at a London underground discotheque is unique and his succintly clear and distinctive accent is rare and I like it a lot. Plus, the song keeps you dancing till the last beat. Love it.

As anticipated as a new Technotronic project was, this new single is disappointing. It has some good beats, but fairly repetitive and uninspired. It definitely lacks the creativity and personality -- and influence -- that TT's projects with Ya Kid K have. This CD has 3 mixes of the same song, one instrumental (minus the freestyle overdubbing of Monday Midnite).
