"Where should I start? I'm a new generation club kid. I haven't heard the original Company B version.
The ever talented Suzanne Palmer brought some massive heat in the clubs with her version of "Fascinated". Where the dancing. While the original Eric Kupper mix was good as a dance track, other remixers added their touch to the song.
1 - Radio Mix - Your typical radio mix (Eric Kupper version).
2 - Eric Kupper Club - The original was more on the mainstream side, but wonderfully produced.
3 - Offer Nissim Remix - This mix tops all the mixes. You should know by now that when an Offer Nissim mix is on a single that mix will be the best of the bunch. This mix got me so exicited to dance! Pure energy.
4 - Dj Escape & Gomi Mix - Great mix.
5 - Dj Paulo & Todd Dutkevitch Creative Mix - All tribal fans this mix is for you.
6 - Johnny Vicious Big Room Anthem Mix - Great mix.

Great cover of the Company B classic.

"This is the latest single by dance diva Suzanne Palmer on the Star 69 label and it is a great cover of the number one track from 1987 by Miami female trio Company B. Now first off this is in no way better than the original version but it is so well done that this too is a classic release.
The track reached number 10 on the Billboard dance chart and to me should have been higher. Plus the fact that this cd single was often delayed before finally being issued out 2 or 3 months after the song had peaked. The track is a more forceful vocal and club mixed than the 1 mix version of the original. There is your Tribal mix, mainstream house mix, your underground mix and your Big room anthem mix. All work with Suzanne's much stronger blacker vocals and yet you still miss the sexier vocals of the original version.
Tracks: Fascinated
1- Radio Mix (3:54)
2- Eric Kupper Club Mix (7:08)-- both 1 & 2 are Eric Kupper produced and mixes tracks.
3- Offer Nissim Remix (9:34)- more underground and aggressive mix.
4- Dj Escape & Gomi Remix (9:26)- more bass driven, bleep type mix plus has the killer sample of the original version around the 5 1/2 minute mark. Best mix for me.
5- Dj Paulo & Todd Dutkevitch Creative Mix (9:07)-- more tribal /drum driven mix that sort of gets a bit more sweeter keyboard driven as well. Nice mix.
6- Johnny Vicious Big Room Anthem Mix (9:24)-- more techno-trance/disco version. A much more BPM driven remix.
Another great dance track from one of the US's best dance artists."

"Suzanne Palmer has done an amazing job of supplying great and memorable club tracks in the past. "Fascinated" is no "Hide U", but it's definitely an amazing song. The radio mix is a pleasant enough version, but for some reason the remixes really capture the essence of this song. The Eric Kupper Mix, is, of course, the extended version of the radio edit. It gets REAL good when Offer Nissim throws his amazing spin on things. It's like he understands the clubs far better than most remixers out there, providing something both dark and melodic, a perfect experience on the dancefloor. DJ Escape & Gomi throw it deep and dirty on the dancefloor, her vocals almost sounding darker. DJ Paulo & Todd Dutkevitch almost strip the melodies, giving us a drum & bass-driven remix. Johnny Vicious turns out a great anthem mix, perfect for dancing without a care.
All in all a great single, but I would have liked more remixes!"
