tl;dr: Awful, even by 2 Unlimited standards.
What?: "Let The Beat Control Your Body", the fifth single from 2 Unlimited's second album ("No Limits"), an album I had on tape, having borrowed it from the library.
Why?: One of the b-sides is a megamix, and in the mid 90s I was a little bit in love with megamixes. I had heard a 2 Unlimited one on the radio and was hoping this was it, but it was not. In all likelyhood I probably confused it for a Techntronic megamix anyway.
Tell me more!: I admit to vaguely enjoying "No Limits" as an album, but I listened to it fairly recently and despised it. I can't even enjoy it ironically. Technotronic is still almost listenable, but 2 Unlimited are dreadful. This single, with the album version and three remixes just rubs in one of the worst songs on the album over and over, although the "X-Out In Rio" mix is fun for a few seconds, replacing the beats with Rio carnival drums.
The megamix is OK, as far as these things go, but I can't listen to it now.
Fun fact, I probably spent $8+ on this CD single.
1/10: It would be zero, but the Rio beats made me giggle, and the megamix is kind of what I paid for...
