Call Me When You're Sober

There's just something about this track that captivates me. Despite it not being a crowd favourite, (and I know it will never be one), it remains one of my favourites ever. I fell in love with this track the first time I saw it, and I'm still in love with it.

For me, this track is just like an amazing combination. I love the band, I love the song, it's emotional and powerful, and I love the ESK, so having the ESK in a track I love is a bonus. How about the choreo? It just fits in perfectly and this track was produced in the releases of the early 30s, which in my opinion, were the most creative period in D&R's reign.

The sort of variation in the tracks were so unpredictable that I actually looked forward to what new moves were coming out and how the combos were going to fit into the track. Of late, they've returned to the tried and tested - a winning formula, no doubt, but I do miss the creativity and the unpredictability.

Even though I know that most participants probably won't like this track, sometimes I choose to include it in my playlist just for myself. A little selfish I know, but that's just one of the perks of being an instructor cos I get to decide on the playlist. I attend other instructors' classes quite often though but I haven't experienced any other instructor playing the song post launch, so I guess the only opportunity I get to do it is if I play the track in my own class.

It's quite a workout if one does the track correctly. It keeps you moving non-stop!

mr z, mr z, you're wrong. We've done it a few times and i've also requested for it in other classes too. Though the choreo is not as easy as the other ESK tracks, it is still well received by most participants. :P
