during their brief five-year career, 'Nalin & Kane' managed to achieve a great deal: from releasing the global mega-hit 'Beachball' and touring the world, to crafting official remixes for major artists such as 'Kylie Minogue' and 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood'. alongside names like 'Van Bellen', 'Humate', and 'Oliver Lieb', they were among my favorite German producers from the end of 90's.
after 'Beachball' became the hit of the summer of 1997, I was dying to hear the follow-up... then 'Talkin About' was released toward the end of year, and I couldn't hide my disappointment. I found the original version to be far too pop-oriented, which wasn't my cup of tea at all, and not even the remixes by renowned names like 'Terry Lee Brown Jr.' or 'Resistance D' could save it. back then, however, I had no idea about the fantastic 'Van Bellen Remix' that was released on a separate record. along with his remix for 'Chris Raven', it must have been one of his first remixes, and to this day, I am still very fond of both... over the years, even the original version grew on me.. not only do I no longer mind it, but I actually hold it in very high regard!.)
btw I probably wasn't the only one who felt disappointed by this single.. while 'Beachball' climbed all the way to number 10 in sales, 'Talkin' About' only reached number 85, which must have been quite a letdown for the major label as well
