Phase II - Reachin'

[ancientraver19881989]

I'm now 46 but this strips all the years away and instantly takes me right back to "my" decade the amazing 1980s. acid house, electro, jazz-funk, pound-notes, pips on telephone calls, easy quiz-machines, pints of beer for less than a quid, pubs closing at 2.30 in the afternoon (well maybe not that one!), slow dances at clubs, Escort XR3i's and Capris parked outside the rave, telly shutting down soon after midnight, Maggie Thatcher (!), Streetsounds compilations, JFM, Solar and Centreforce,

[NotOldManDave]

@MrCHIMPSTER - fantastic way to say goodbye to your friend. Really special

[jamiecantrell]

wat a tune . heard it in blackpool the other night ..

[AndrewNeilClarkson]

I started to get into house in 85/86, and know most of what was around, so I know my classic house. There is no better tune of that era, end of! An immense, moving, happy monster of a tune, still making people cry, smile, and dance!

MY NUMBER ONE! Simple.

[stratfordtony42]

Goosebumps indeed..

[MWingy1]

love this track, so many memories and lots of goosebumps! Thanks for sharing :)

[ripitupish]

another one that you wouldnt dare to leave out of the all time old school house top 10.........

what else could make you dance on a tuesday evening in 2011.........

[kuvasheff]

They dont make em like this anymore (Apart from BLAZE)

[Venu337]

omigosh so positive. one thing about this type of music it was so soulful in a classic sense like harold melvin and the bluenotes or maze. so uplifting. and you HAD to know how to sing in order to record these songs no autotune here

[molly3ish]

Hacienda 88. know how you feel carbonbodyworker. get me a time machine!!!!!!

[mrmichael1366]

I know Vincent personally and we had some good times back in the day East Orange,Orange park..MY favorite was "its a mystery" by them..wow !! thanks for the memories

[MsAbigailMovin]

Lead singer Vincent Herbert is now Executive Producer for Lady GaGA!

[DJFreez]

@MsAbigailMovin: Sure? There's another Vincent Herbert who was well known for production work and was a member of 3 Boyz From Newark. He's more likely to be (the) producer for Lady Gaga... He produced fo JoJo, Aaliyah, and many more.

[sastal]

@DJFreez Giving me hope that this guy from Phase II does NOT produce that awful, unmentionable artist of today. Thank you!

[sastal]

@MsAbigailMovin I wish you had never told me. Very sad. :-(

[muqallid]

i saw these guys at stony brook uni in 1988,long live house

[fagAshLil1234]

I was born the year this came out, it's 21 years old and u know what..... it sounds fucking amazing, things get old fashions and people but good music is always fresh

[tommygeedeejay]

If you like this track, check out Tawanna Curry "Let me Show You" or Eddie Stockley "I Still Believe". Same meaningful Jersey soulful vibe

[murdawg187]

went 2 high school wit these dudes..they was older than me tho..

[fagAshLil1234]

ur lucky

[pimpmcdaddies]

Happy DaZe

[allanclare]

aaaah... found it again - just remember one special night at quadrant park when they played this - always wondered what it was... uplifting house! and, by the way, check out my message on my playlist and mail me if interested in talk.

[housemusic19851992]

This song reminds me of the glory days (1987/88) driving down to VA beach from NJ for the Labor Day Greekfest.

[bolabus]

[bolabus]

ahhhh excellent

[kizamitsuki72]

I love this, i own it on vinyl, what a music

[SXM0]

This tune shaped who I AM!! peace to all you ravers. x

[sfpromotions1]

twylight zone toronto 5am dancing wet what a classic.

[kosatorONE]

its sampled from that song so what? 90 percent of music is sampled specialy house pianos ...

[grimegarage09isplop]

just to say that i always loved this tune, a classic but read my last comment and decide for yourselves.

[grimegarage09isplop]

ok, guys dont just laugh and say what nonsense....just listen.!!!

wet wet wet - sweet little mystery...listen to the intro and tell me thats not where this sampled it from...

[DRokKster]

Just fantastic! remember this getting played at CJ's in sheffield 5am in the morning, been dancin all night. some one kicked open the fire escape and let the rising sunlight into the dance floor just as this kicked in!

EPIC tune!

[Rikstyle93]

i love this song, it's incredible!!!!!!! 1988

[arijr71]

One Day!!! Timeless classic - thanks for posting! Brings back soooo many good memories. Music 4 life!

[bleah65]

beautiful track!!

[mattylga]

can someone throw in mystery by phase 2 (instrumentals or vocals)please!!

[t1201971]

There was this amazing 2 record comp of all this Philly stuff (it had Blaze's "Can't Win For Losin'" too), does anyone remember the name of it or the label? Some asshole DJ "borrowed" it from me like 10 years ago but somehow just never remembered to return it. Funny how I never bump into that guy anymore...

[auswildes]

t1201971 - I think the album you're after is "The Garage Sound of Deepest New York"? Brilliant 2 LP set with Blaze (same band as Phase II?) Can't Win for Losing also on the album.....

[t1201971]

Hey thanks, I really appreciate it, I was totally racking my brains trying to think of what that record was called..!

[rangusr]

Peerless.

[antasyabarky]

I knew the lead singer (V.H.) when he was a kid.I remember him singing at house parties. I'm happy he has done well.

[lushtush62]

Jst the dogs bollix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember dancin on the table at The State......circa 1988!!!!!!!!!! Phenomenal time of my life!! Oh heady dayze...wouldnt be were I am 2day without them!!

[mattylga]

Great hook....I would like to hear "mystery" vocals from phase 2 if you have it!!

[DjAtWork92]

i've got Side A and B on MP3

[mattylga]

[campriskijacket]
