Finn Johannsen – Dazed And Confused

Another one from the vault that was pretty popular when I first put it online. Then I was still revisiting what I danced to more than a decade earlier, for whatever reason. I was probably just missing a similar vibe. I am still very happy with the intro, a Jack Nicholson monologue lifted from the soundtrack of Five Easy Pieces. “Auspicious beginnings”. Bless soundtracks which contain snippets from the movie. You can do a lot of fine things with such. Also notable, the track that follows. It was from an album compilation of the NYC label Hit-N-Run. I first heard it played at Unit club in in 89 or so, and pre-internet it took me quite a while to track it down. It has this mysterious feeling of good Nu Records, but a really original sound. As mentioned, an album track. Once a guy claiming to be behind the label asked me to rip it via because he had lost all of his masters, but I did not believe him. In any case, this screams reissue with good mastering right in your face. The Rhythm Workshop track is a bit obscure too. The rest are classics. But hey, they are classics for a reason.
