Is it just my 12" of Samba Magic a bit funny but whenever I play this
tune in a club, there seems to be a loss in bass. I haven't herd the CD
so I don't know. Yeh, that tacky Hongkong version is like a cover
versions of all samba-house stuff on one CD. Why can't they just use the
original. That is if the original is from Basement Jaxx. I also noted
that Belo Horizonti's wierd background vocals is lifted off an Airto
Moriera track. Any clues to which one??
