a propos:
For those with a passion for the mid-80s sound of New York, the sporadic releases from Mark Seven's Parkway operation have always been essential listening. Taking influence from freestyle, the proto-house dubs of Paul Simpson, early garage, and '80s soul, the project's releases to date have been like a delicious blast from the past. "The Feeling" doffs a cap to all of these styles, with his usually authentic production (stuttering drum machine drums, reverb-laden vocals, killer tape edits etc) being joined by the kind of saucer-eyed melodies associated with early Balearic house. The alternative versions are good too, with the dub style "Can't Stop This Feeling", in particular, standing out.
