Yes and no...
Check out 4Hero's version of Patrice Rushen's "Wishful Thinking",
or their remix of Nuyorican Soul's cover of "Black Gold of The
Sun". The Rushen cover is 99.9% identical to the original. The
first 4 minutes of the "Black Gold" remix sound a _lot_ more like
the original version than they did Nuyorican's cover. So I don't
think anyone should be that surprised to hear "Les Fleur" come out
the way it did. It does have the trademark breakdown in the middle,
which is pretty nice - but if anything I'd have liked them to strip
down the chorus. Oh well. I am surprised that it was put out as a
single.
The version of "2000 Black" on the album is pretty damn straight
too - especially when compared to the Pavel Kostiuk version on "The
Good Good".
On a related note: did anyone else notice that Dego and Marc Mac
don't seem to have co-written or co-produced anything on the LP?
Assuming that Brad Somatik is not another Dego alias, I don't think
that there's one track on the LP that has both names in the credits.
