Much has been said about FCL's debut E.P. `Vocals For Everyone' since it was released almost two years ago. It doesn't even seem like two years ago, because the tracks `Let's Go' and `More Than Seven' are still as new as they were the day the were released, and they are still being played, charted and discovered at this very moment, a testament to the timelessness of FCL's take on house music.
A number of remixes and recent individual track releases on Delusions Of Grandeur and the We Play House/Lany Recordings Summer Special have made sure the name FCL has stayed top-of-mind for countless house music afficionados around the world, and this follow-up full E.P. should add even more icing to that cake.
Vocalist Lady Linn was once again the perfect conduit for the sounds and lyrics of FCL, with `Used To Be' taking things deep and melodic for a `love lost'-anthem that will touch even the hardest of love criminals. Classic vocal house and a piece of modern dance music that will appeal to a very wide audience. The mandatory instrumental is there so Red D can play the vinyl when performing with Lady Linn'because why would you otherwise want to play the instrumental version when the vocals are that good?!
On the flipside we find `Back', aimed straight at the dancefloor and vintage WPH/FCL/San Soda material. Beware that on this E.P. you'll find the instrumental version of `Back', the vocal version being saved for the upcoming FCL album further into 2012. Closing things of are Arto Mwambe - personal favourites of Red D ' who provide a killer house meets balearic take on `Back', Nu Groove emo-flutes included!
