Domine

Another sad example of how unfair the music business can be. According to some sources, in June 1990, just a few weeks before Enigma's hugely successful track ''Sadeness (Part I)'' was released, Hartmut Gawehn (one half of Sloopey G.) brought a demo tape of ?Domine? to Virgin Records in Munich. The demo was quite well received, generating a great deal of interest on behalf of Virgin's A&R department. Interestingly enough, Michael Cretu of Enigma happened to have a music publishing company in the same building, just one floor above Virgin. Shortly thereafter, Enigma's ''Sadeness (Part I)'' was released, bearing a shamelessly striking resemblance. This ''coincidence'' led the production team at FURORE Studio in D?sseldorf into a long and complicated legal battle over their intellectual property, which dragged on for years ? but with little success for the pioneers of this sound. Here you can listen to the original tracks of the DOMINE production, along with a previously unreleased track from the same era. Downtempo breakbeat/house rhythms combined with religious samples and vocals ? a sound that was very much ahead of its time. Get closer to God and to the truth behind the sound that helped sell so much perfume during the 90s. Must have for any true early house aficionado.
