Review: "Real Time" by Greg Wilson & Zer-o, on Running Back, is a thrilling blast from the past that proves great music truly stands the test of time. This release celebrates the 40th anniversary of the groundbreaking "Street Sounds UK Electro" compilation, giving a well-deserved spotlight to a track that helped shape the British electronic music landscape. Originally created by the talented trio of Manchester musicians Martin Jackson and Andy Connell, alongside DJ Greg Wilson in his production debut, "Real Time" captures the electric energy of the early '80s electro scene. Its reemergence in the digital realm is not just a nod to nostalgia, but a testament to its enduring appeal and influence. The release is enhanced by Gerd Janson's dancefloor-ready bonus beats edit, while 2024 reworks by Greg and his son Ché Wilson bridge the gap between past and present. These new interpretations, including a downtempo version, demonstrate the Wilsons' ongoing creativity and relevance in electronic music.
