#22. Elisa – Come speak to me (4 Hero remix) [Epic 2002]

Price on Discogs: £2.00

I can't quite believe I'm 20 entries deep into this blog and have yet to touch upon 4 Hero?! Followers of my Noodle Hotpot show will no dobut already be aware of how much I love their productions and I certainly won't bang on about it here other to highlight that their back catalogue is not only HUGE but littered with zillions of records that could make it onto this blog. They shouldn't do of course but we live in a mad world so we are where we are, so plenty of bargains to be picked up including this slice of 10" goodness. I'd left this record on the racks for a few years but pulled it back out recently for my 10" special 2 hour show I did here and was instantly reminded of its lushness. I know bugger all about Elisa other than she was an italian pop artist in the early noughties but 4 Hero brought her to my attention after laying down their signature swinging drums underneath her vocals. It's not one of their biggest remixes and certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel but it doesn't need to, their magical touch just does enough to lift it even higher.

A quick look at the date also raises an eyebrow, this year marks 20 years since it was released. Well I never.
