This has always been one of my faves. The Strikers didn't release many records, but "Body Music" is a superb production.

Feb 20, 2006 | 1:14 pmIndescribably high-spirited "street record" that doesn't sound like much on paper -- just one long, salacious goof over some hot rhythm -- yet wins the heart and fills the floor whenever it's played.
The record builds so much fun and sexual tension that when it finally peaks, t does so with a single extended organ note that "nails" the preceding 5 or 6 minutes. Terrific stuff, the kind of oddity that distinguished Prelude from West End and Salsoul among New York's "Big Three" indie disco labels.

Another Big Paradise Garage track. Really a simple groove with some simple humorous male vocals over the top that builds up to a crescendo and unloads a roar!!! The synth work on the remix really brings out the song. This track was made for that big room! When Larry played it we all ran to the dance floor and sang along. Definitely a Garage anthem!
