This is how I remember it in '93 in Quebec City dance clubs - pinball!

The 2 Unlimited comp I have (Unlimited Hits) unfortunately has all the raps left in. Of course, if the comp had only versions with the raps taken out, I think I would have been just as annoyed. Is there another 2 Unlimited comp with the same songs but the mainly vocalless versions?

Couldn't stand them when they were huge, and would complain loudly about them to anyone who'd listen. Years later, I can appreciate them as fun pop, and the production holds up nicely.

Why should the raps be left out? Euro-rapping was an essential part of Eurodance, and a big part of its charm.

Personally I preferred Martha Wash, as far as this sort of thing is concerned. But I had no problem with 2 Unlimited - they served their purpose. (Almost bought No Limits used back in '95 or so.) Omitting the raps was certainly a good idea.

i'm not getting how 2 Unlimited and Martha Wash are connected!

A guilty pleasure, but what a pleasure.
Let The Beat Control Your Body and Tribsl Dance are forgotten yet phenomenal.
In some way.

Well, "Martha Wash" was just a concise way of referring to C+C Music Factory, Black Box and whoever else she sang for. All of 'em cranked out the Hi-NRG jams that, throughout the '90s, were as ubiquitous at North American sporting events as in dance clubs. I tend(ed) to lump 'em all together regardless of how much/little they actually had in common sonically.
