I read from the press release that Abe's career's ebbed and flowed over the years, and after becoming a regular on the European techno touring circuit, he slipped to find himself compelled to scratch a living as a carpenter, 'with barely enough money to release his own music.'
Yes, it's a hard knock life, but Duque is as persistent as he is frustrated, and with the objective of providing the antidote to 'today's time of dire conga cod-deep afro-house,' Abe and Blake have chiselled away in order to kick out 'Let's Take it Back.'
Perhaps I'm missing something. But I just can't see it. Yeah, yeah, laid-back grooves, and an insistent rhythm, over which half-spoken vocals as cool as a polar bear's buttocks urge 'let's take it back... like way back, like back in the day, when house made ya move' ...blah blah.

This is just tired and uninspired-sounding, and having some goateed geezer bemoan how dance music isn't as good as it used to be really doesn't make me want to get down.
Back to the lathe, Abe. Please. We need more quality furniture. We don't need any more records like this.
