Story
Ok, Huelsbeck's 'Hollywood Poker Pro' (the Amiga version) has been one of my absolutely favourites. Unluckely it took me many years to find a rip-off version that i could listen to on the PC, so that I could take the chance to make a cover-version. I tried to keep all the basic elements of the original, hope you like it!

Overall rating

The basic idea was good (to turn this tune into a dance-mix, which I see as the natural choice), but the execution lacks the oomph and feeling to push it over the edge. No doubt it's due to the lack of decent synths available to Dr. Future, because I find one of the lead sounds rather childish and the whole tune has this cheap Casio-synth feeling to it. A nice effort, nevertheless, but it's in dire need of a better treatment.
