Hello all, I was pretty curious after the recent space of Wayne Gardiner/UR posts so I popped into my local vinyl emporium today and found a copy of Wayne Gardiner's 'The Warning/Final Frontier' for a bargain 2 quid (about 3.5 dollars). I actually had a copy of this when it first came out but it got stolen many years ago. The one thing I thought when I heard it was 'wow, this still sounds pretty good' and then I looked at the label for the year of release. 1990, couldn't believe it !! This guy was at least 2 or 3 years ahead of other NY guys like Kerri Chandler etc. Sublime deep house with emotive chords which really draw you in.
Interestingly enough to what Tristan was saying yesterday, I heard a part of the flip-side 'The Warning' which sounds exactly like part of the strings of Knight of The Jaguar. It's only a 15 second segment but it sounds almost identical. May be wishful thinking on my behalf but I wonder if any of the UR crowd were influenced by his tracks ? This guys got me hooked - can anyone recommend any other stuff that he did ? PS - Has anyone else noticed that Abacus remixed 'The Final Frontier' on the B-Side of his My Brazilian Love ep on Balance. The tracks called Phases. Chris ( aka Deep-House Trainspotter ;)
