(21/47) Originally released in 1989 on the Storytelling album, "In the Fast Lane" is a rich and vibrant composition, with Ponty's rhythmical Synclavier keys and uplifting violin melodies dancing over a driving offbeat groove. The track lit up dancefloors in the UK jazz-dance movement which started in the late 80's and is one of the all-time classic tunes from the Dingwalls sessions as well as being a firm favourite of an endless list of underground heavyweights including Theo Parrish, Floating Points, Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge and even The Electrifying Mojo! many others, it, was also championed by influential Detroit radio DJ the Electrifying Mojo - leading the track to be referenced by the first wave of Detroit techno producers. Remasterd by Atjazz and cut loud at 45, you're unlikely to have heard a fatter and fuller version of this track on vinyl! The release also features a brilliant cover version from Opolopo. He faithfully recreates the original synth lines around a deep and jazzy house groove, producing a modern dancefloor masterpiece which impressed Ponty himself!
