"Notice Me(1)" in this incarnation is the eight-and-a-half minute "Notice The House Mix" of the big freestyle hit from 1988, which was originally pressed on Fever. A very understated mix for Clivilles and Cole (better known as C&C Music Factory), it's kinda reminiscent of "Break for Love." The two-note analog bass line, claps, and dubbed out vocals are sure to get old-school house heads wriggling on the floor, and the organ solo in the last third of the record is worth letting it play out for. The "Dub Mix(2)" is a Jellybean Benitez-style edit of the freestyle version with less cheese than the full vocal mix. (For those not familiar with freestyle, it's a New York/ Florida latino dance music style – think Shannon, Lisa Lisa & Stevie B. If that doesn't do anything for you, think throwback Night at the Roxy.) On the flipside, "A Little Piano (3)" and "What You Need" are jazzy house classics, both early nineties productions by Italy's Soft House Company.
