In my opinion this rubbushIt is for people that want to go out 'raving' , but are to pussy to handle a bit off prppper techno.RUBBISH!!! =O

Fawrindhga

so this is how kyle did cant get you out of my head

Bloodfire

Absolute beast of a tune. So simple but very effective disco loops, and a catchy vocal to complete this classic. I just can’t believe some greedy bastards are trying to sell this for stupid amounts of money! This is what’s stopping genuine collectors and music lovers buying a copy. Unbelievable man!!

Doath

Just played this track after having filed it away for a long time, (original Roule pressing) and you have to hold your hands up and say that looking back sometimes a song no matter the genre HAS to go mainstream to the masses, to be enjoyed by all. It's such a massive track. If you are an aspiring DJ or just like playing music, you cannot fail with this heavyweight gem. Special.... As for breaking house into the mainstream I'd say no, but it made even more people take notice and won them over.

Puchock

Bought this from Discogs marketplace. Sound quality is great on first spin! Although the sleeve was just plain black and not the cover art indicated above. Etching on reverse side of record says "LOVE MIGHT BRING US BACK TOGETHER"

Negal

Unless the seller clearly stated it coming with a generic sleeve, it was probably the repress you bought that comes only in a generic black sleeve. The seller most likely unwittingly listed it for sale on the original pressing release instead of the repress (which would have had the roule sleeve).

Via

Great song. Definitely a must have for any House fan

Lanadrta

Overrated. Overrated and Mainstream. But it's not bad in any way.

Unsoo

Not sure how "Mainstream" serves as a negative qualifier though?

Macill

What are you saying actually? It is overrated and mainstream enough for anyone to play it anywhere.

Fordrekelv

Overrated and mainstream enough for Palms Trax to play it at Dekmantel MainStage ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8jVM0ot8IQ

Quendant

Virgin paid Roule £100,000 to license Music Sounds Better With You.

Gavirgas

I friggin' love how they etched "Music sounds better with you - Love might bring us back together" on the b-side.

Chankane

The one house track that I hate to love and love to hate. Still rocks the dancefloor as hard as the day it came out.

SlingFire

I read once that this track was responsible for bringing house music out of the underground and into mainstream. Now you know who to blame! :-)

Peles

madonna - vogue was an house hit back in 1990

Katishi

Seriously? Van Helden's mix of Tori Amos, Ultra Nate - Free, Dario G - Sunchyme, The Bucketheads - The Bomb, Livin' Joy, JX, K-Klass all had either number 1 singles or top 30 best selling singles in the UK for 1995-1997.

Ytli

Obviously since but name some tracks before? I can't think of any

Very Old Chap

there have been many a mainstream house hit before and since this. many.

Moogugore

Seanis101 I read once that this track was responsible for bringing house music out of the underground and into mainstream. Now you know who to blame! :-) And house music hasn't been the same since..

Quinthy

just the biggest house track ever. respect to braxe, diamond, bangaltar

Shou

A real classic this song is! Really great Guitar riff! They turned that stupid Electric Guitar sound (from the song that they sampled) into a nice tune! I don't care if it's repetitive, it's so much better than noisy Rock Music is!!!

Rose Of Winds

No...it's not. It's "Fate" by Chaka Khan (1981)...go and have a listen.

Umor

The sample came from a Chaka Khan song, not a rock song. And there is nothing stupid about rhythm guitar. I guess you've never heard of funk, soul, or disco?

Cogelv

the guitar riff is sampled from BODY MUSIC by The Strikers

Runemane

I'm so sorry, it's just that I don't like Rock Music...........

Yainai

That "Stupid" guitar sound you speak of came from a great song by Chaka Khan called "Fate". It was not a rock song, it was r & b, btw.

Iarim

Extremely boring music, which spoiled a full summer of my youth. Not as bad as "One more time", though.

Marilbine

I agree, and though a lot of people are saying that 90's music was just simple, they are all forgetting that big beat was also popular around those times and that music is way more "complicated" than the type of "music" that Daft Punk (sorry daft punk fans, but you can't just add filter modulation to a looping sample and call it a song (Musique)).

Damand

It's still much better than Gramophonedzie - Why Don't You is because that song is COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!
