Sunsonic

Released in 1990 on Polydor Records under catalog number PZ 76 (with some 12" versions listed as PZX 76), Kind Of Loving by Sunsonic is a single that captures the transitional era when electronic music began blending more atmospheric and ambient textures into the dance scene.

Tracks & Remixes

The record includes several versions and remixes, each offering a different take on the track’s sonic identity:

A: Kind Of Loving (Land Of Oz Remix) – A longer, immersive version with airy, expansive textures.

B1: Innocent Man – A complementary track that provides contrast in structure and mood.

B2: Kind Of Loving (7" Mix) – A shorter, more radio-friendly version, stripped of extended ambient elements.

The 12" remix version (catalog no. PZX 76) includes remixes by Youth, featuring a Kicking North Mix, an Ambient Mix, and an additional track called Shay Shay, expanding the sonic palette even further.

Style & Atmosphere

Musically, Kind Of Loving sits in the realm of UK electronic with hints of dub, downbeat, and ambient influences. The remixes highlight echo effects, reverb-heavy textures, and layered production, creating a deep, immersive experience.

The single allows listeners to move between:

Energetic / rhythmic vibes (ideal for the dancefloor)

Ambient / introspective soundscapes (more suited for headphones and late-night listening)

Legacy & Reception

Though Kind Of Loving wasn’t a massive commercial hit, it holds a special place for collectors and fans of early '90s UK electronic music — particularly those who appreciate the experimental edge of Polydor’s output at the time.

Some critics noted that Sunsonic showed ambition with this release, blending ambient, house, and dub elements to create something more complex and textured than a standard dance single.
