“Something Good” by Utah Saints

"Something Good" first turned up leading off a seven-track EP of the same name before it landed on Utah Saints' 1992 debut album, and it's the English duo's big trick in miniature: grab a hook nobody else would dare touch and ride it into orbit. Here the hook is Kate Bush, a vocal snatch lifted from "Cloudbusting" and looped over a hammering electronic groove until it sounds like a siren calling the whole warehouse home. Jez Willis wrote it, and the Saints produced it themselves.

It climbed to number four in the UK and seven on Billboard's US dance club chart, and the BBC used it in its 1992 coverage of the Barcelona Olympics opening ceremony. A 2008 remix by Van She Tech, with Davina Perera re-singing the Bush part, pushed it to number eight in Britain, the duo's first top-20 hit in 15 years.
