Cool Down Zone - Heaven Knows [10 Records]
Cool Down zone were formed from the ashes of 52nd Street and comprised bassist Tony Bowry, drummer Myke Wilson and vocalist Diane Charlemagne. Their most succesful release, "Heaven Knows", is a track that makes me yearn for that golden era at the end of the 80s and start of the 90s. Sitting at the intersection of various styles, it fuses elements of house and soul to create a down-tempo groover that is just sublime. Diane delivers the most wonderful, emotionally charged performance you could hope for while Tim Lever and Mike Percy,(One World), create a stunning musical backdrop with dreamy atmospheres. Sadly Diane passed away in 2015 but with gems like this and an impressive body of work that saw her collaborate with Dave Lee, Satoshi Tomiie & 4 Hero to name but a few she leaves behind a stunning musical legacy. There aren't too many tracks that I could listen to over and over again; "Heaven Knows" is most definitely one of them.
