“This record actually started with me and James Pennington. I was at his studio, we caught this vibe, and it became the foundation of Inner City – the famous Inner City sound. It was a chord, sampled, one note, spread through the keyboards and replayed, mixed down with a pad and a few other sounds. We had this unique sound.
“That was kind of the birth. There was no group name then, it was just creation. So I kept developing the track, and I ran into this guy about six months later, a guy named Terry ‘Housemaster’ Baldwin. By then the track had drums, we came up with some other parts for it, another guy I was working with at time Art Forest added some traditional piano. At that time I couldn’t play piano like a keyboardist could. I could find notes, play notes, but it was still early in my career.”
