I count my self extremely lucky to get emotional-physical reactions to music quite often.
As far as dance music goes, this has gotten me damn near everytime I’ve heard it for the last 40 years. Goosebumps, sometimes near constantly, and frequently accompanied by tears. I named a small annual festival I used to throw, Love and Happiness.

Absolutely massive record in Cape Town back in the day. Probably still is.

As soon as I heard the intro it really rang a goose-bumpy bell too, but I didn’t recognize the later bits.

My old lady walked down the aisle to that at Islington Town Hall nearly 20 years ago. Always gets me…

Heard this compilation at a good time when I was 16 maybe. Put me on a good path.
This is still my favourite Fulton record probably but it’s daft because he’s so many brilliant tracks.
I only realised about 6 months after my son was born that Mr Fulton may have subconsciously influenced me in (us, mutually) settling on his name, Maurice. I’m over sharing but literally I don’t think there is any other context I could share that.
Beautiful bit of music, really lands with me.

Absolute tune… What a record…
I was asked to play at a good mates wedding many years ago. I prepared a set of records that meant a lot to me and him. I was very much looking forward to it as I hadn’t played out in a while.
When I put this on, a woman approached the decks and informed me that ‘no one wants to listen to this house shit’.
My reaction, which I am not proud of, was a collection of four letter words including calling her a Music N#zi C#nt.
It turned out to be the brides best freind and in reality she wasn’t any of those things.
I stopped my set immediately and I might’ve cried a bit. I’m afraid I was very, very drunk.
The irony of Love and Happiness playing in the background while I completely disgraced myself went unnoticed at the time but is obvious now.
Still, your post has at least given me the reassurance that I was on the right lines to begin with.

This brings me up every time, for reasons im not even sure i can articulate. Its Loleatta telling it like it is, theres a liquid bass and all the stabs and pianos you could want, but why it stands so far above a lot of similar Jersey sounding tracks for me, i cant really say.

We were blasting live and direct on friday night here. So good! Straight from Amnesia to your living room. Adamski always makes me of driving through thé New Forest looking for parties in garden centers after the clubs shut. I think he comes from the new forest too.

Killer was THE tune at Spike Island. The Roses didn’t manage to beat the vibe of that getting played IMO.
