No Limits (2 Unlimited album)
''No Limits'', also known as ''No Limits!'', is the second studio album by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allmusic: 2 Unlimited (Biography) )〕 As their British record company PWL were dissatisfied with Ray Slijngaard's raps,〔Producer Jean-Paul de Coster called them "too clumsy for the UK market" (Channel 4's Top 10 Irritating Records of Recent Time, 2003), while company head Pete Waterman spoke of "the worst rap I've ever heard". (Entry 685 of ''1000 Number Ones'' by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh)〕 the British version of this album replaced most of the raps with instrumental parts. ''No Limits'' yielded five singles and went platinum in several countries.
==Background==
2 Unlimited had limited success in 1992 with their debut album ''Get Ready!''. It had produced four hit singles, but the album had not performed well commercially, peaking at just #37 in the UK.〔(everyHit.com – UK Top 40 Chart Archive, British Singles & Album Charts )〕 At the time, many eurodance acts were able to produce hit singles but were unable to capitalize on this with a commercially successful album.〔For evidence of this, see the chart statistics for acts such as Captain Hollywood Project, Technotronic, Culture Beat and Maxx.〕 2 Unlimited, however, broke the mould.
At the end of 1992, 2 Unlimited were still only known amongst those who followed chart music at the time. With the first single listed from this album, this changed. It went to number 1 in the UK in early February (competing with "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston), and spent five weeks there. This exposure lead to them being parodied by the mainstream media with the television series ''Spitting Image'' parodying the track as "No Lyrics" due to its repetitive lyrical content. The second single, "Tribal Dance", was released in May 1993, and then this album followed soon afterwards.
