Soul Searcher - Underground Evolution (Ugly Music)

 


Title: Soul Searcher 

Artist: Underground Evolution 

Label: Ugly Music

Cat Number: UGM015

Genre: House


1: Walk On Water

2: Soul Searcher (Joe Claussell Remix)


This is a reissue paired with a new version. The original of ‘Walk On Water’ first appeared back in 1996 as UGM008, and was released alongside ‘Soul Searcher’, both tracks being credited to Underground Evolution feat. David Brown. ‘Soul Searcher’ was a classic at Body & Soul, so Joe Claussell was enlisted to provide a remix. David Brown’s vocals feature on the original version of ‘Soul Searcher’, but not the dub. Joe Claussell’s remix elongates the original, and gives the vocals more clarity than in the original, iand altogether provides a sharper version. ‘Walk On Water’  is pacier and  could easily come off as a piece of prime time organic techno. The original of this release goes for a not inconsiderable sum on Discogs, and it’s easy to see why. Timeless stuff.
