Congress 40 miles(vocal version)

[ComingWithTheClouds]

"I'm only 40 miles away from..." someone who can teach her to sing.

Great music though!

[Beakster12]

Top top top top tune( metro centre posse)

[Sleekdjs]

Awful version the original import with just the piano's and a break is the only one you need this was released to try and make some money as a commercial enterprise. The vocal is something off the x-factor, err makes me wanna puke.

[markowilson1]

Blackburn nights, does anyone remember MINSTRALS in bburn. ronnie an gilly @ north bar,

[flatlad1]

@markowilson1 I REMEMBER IT WELL MATE,,AN ALL THE SCENE AT THEM TIMES....GUD STUFF MATE................

[Mr200vid]

Oh yes... Buzz club Liverpool. 90's clubbin' , ya couldn't beat it. Too much gel in me hair and I was strugglin' to get a shirt with sleeves that didn't hang ( I was a bit skinny back then).

[fever1987]

big big old skool tune

[honeythief98]

Bagleys massive 90-93. aye aye :) 

[sabrettes]

Christ I remember this. I was living in Leeds and had the tidiest girlfriend in York you could imagine. I used to wake up on Friday mornings and put this on; I was only forty miles away. What days. What beautiful proof of God she was.  Beautiful, smily, shapely beauty. I'll never forget.

[gremlin715]

This is an all time great

This is my funeral song I want to see them hands in the air

[robbief26]

[Robertissimo]

Yes vocals add to the track, though instrumental is an awesome house hit. However the vocals elevate this anthem to legendary status!

I'm only 40 miles wooooooooooo haaaanndds iinnnn the aaaiiiirrr!!!!!! \\\\\\0//////

[eXPerienceyeah]

Yeah this is too fast, spoils it, here is the other one but in lower quality though sadly _TdBoYBZJBg

[STARTREKFANIMATED]

i never understand people who slag off the vocals. Its a beautiful voice. I think this version is pitched up

[pagasp1]

such a track

[phbgjf]

I had this tune with the rap of the 40 miles from congress in a tape I lost. It was fitting better here, is it a mix from a known sessions or Dj? Ive looking that for years (go figure) lol

[richieovstoke]

[TheRetiredspaceman]

jimjam657

i agree with your comment. we were lucky boys and girls, select few. the rest of them know nothing.

[TheRetiredspaceman]

@TheRetiredspaceman oh yes we were lucky. There was no shit, great tunes, great people and great (not messed with) recreational goodies.

[gomezgang1]

@TheRetiredspaceman agree, the golden era of dance you were either lucky to be there like me :):):) or not

[dylan240269]

@gomezgang1

I was there too and yes I count myself lucky.....amazing times :)

[gomezgang1]

@dylan240269 did you ever go round leeds the warehouse,the gallery,rickys and sunnys

[dylan240269]

@gomezgang1

No mate, I used to stay around London mainly, The Satellite Club in Vauxhall was my regular place although I went to a few others too, I've got a fair bit of music from that era although I hardly ever play it now. Great memories though (albeit a bit hazy....hahaha).

[gomezgang1]

@dylan240269 got a few myself, not very computer savvy though relying on my brother to put them on so could be a while :) just managed 1 gallery upload

[TheRetiredspaceman]

this tune and "heres another chance with you to dance with me" stuck with me through my days. If only i could go back.

[stewstokie81]

unreal track had many a dance to it TUNE!!

[aleviola38]

The instrumental version by Congress is the one you've gotta hear....takes me right back.

[xtom1973]

@aleviola38

yes. the vocal is not so good in that famous pianoline

[1988AcidRevival]

It's such a shame music has not moved on much. I would say I hear 4 or 5 tracks a year now that inspire me.

[moewishaw]

i agree with u mate. and i'm not just talking about house music, i mean across all genres there are only a few tunes that genuinely stand out each year.

[jimjam657]

just shows how good these tunes were back in the day......we were lucky boys and girls ;-)

[TRB1946]

Piano heaven :)

[AuldYank1]

I know this gem well. Thanks.:)

[DoktorGood]

I think fatboy slim did jimi polo's riff the most justice. fatboy slim - song for lindy

[BF2006falcon]

what, you mean the piano riff introduced to Jimi Polo by ADAMSKI in 1988?? ;-)

[itshouldntbeallowed]

i've still got this..on cassette hahahaa just can't bring myself to chuck those things away

[adfroome]

Orange @ Bagleys...great great times. Stay happy ravers. =)

[polyplant]

fantastic tune,....back in the day.........

[nicknuv]

Back in the day my arse: by the time this commercial, sugary shit was out, the day was well and truly over, but for the bandwagon jumpers, it was just beginning.

[grimegarage09isplop]

i wasnt out raving in muddy fields as i was just a kid...my older bro and sister used to listen to underground rave music so i would listen with them....but i know what you are saying...i would say about 92 was when the underground scene really went big in the mainstream......moulding from house/garage/hardcore/rave into uk garageand after 95 uk garage was on its last breath....after 97 there was a total fixation with having pitch turned up to maximum....so called speed garage sh*t era....

[mrflipmode]

well said.

[justfraff]

bastard.

[Teebonemendez]

Crap vocal

[letruthspeaker]

Ur mums crap!!

[fredpunk123]

lol

[fredpunk123]

pish

[igetwet]

does anyone know a tune called "it's gonna be a better day", a black man singing over this exact same piano hook? from about 1994.

[nicknuv]

See Jimi Polo - Better Days. that was where this was robbed from.

[igetwet]

oh right...was that first? i just asked about that version, i love it.

[bowiefanbestof]

bopping here

[jordoboi]

anyone got any doves??

[paypartyguy]

You wish mate... look at the state of E's these days!!!! Bit like the music: crap tunes = crap chemicals!

Lets keep our fingers crossed!

[igetwet]

can't take em anymore, they make me ill for days, they're full of shit...do you remember Diamonds that were out with the Doves? they were flat and ketaminey but if you took half of each they lasted all night. I got to taking 10 and them doing nothing from 1997 onwards, they went shit.

[eXPerienceyeah]

This was in the charts, around the same time as "Carl Cox - I want You (Forever)" but this Congress is damn tough to find, they are all the instrumental versions.

[garyspencer08]

will never die its awsome cmon still remember the days and it still does the trick
