Having A Bit Of A Clear-Out
Kev’s already made his apology and so here’s mine, in the form of a light-on-words 40 song clear-out of everything I’ve been going to post but just haven’t been able to come up with a suitable tenuous sexually ambiguous rant and pun post title for. And even with a 40 song post I still can’t [...]
Where’s Yours…?
Raf – Self Control (Extended Version) (MP3)
Following on from the previous (re) post, here’s another Celso Valli affiliated track. A slightly obvious one, but there’s no denying that Raffaele Riefoli’s ‘Self Control’ is a total 80’s bomb (minus that dreadful rapping nonsense towards the end). Later ‘re-worked’ by Harold Faltermeyer for the Laura Brannigan mega [...]
Music That Makes A Difference
Â
Isaac Hayes – Walk On By (MP3)
Hooverphonic – 2 Wicky (MP3)Isaac Hayes-Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic (MP3)
Public Enemy – Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos (MP3)
“I love your blog, visit it frequently a shame you dont update it as much as you did back then ”
A closing line from an email I receieved yesterday, and it almost [...]
We Are The Musicmarkers…
Musicmarkers Ltd – Havah Nagilah (MP3)
After raiding my Italo collection this morning, it would seem that I am going into dodgy territory again. Don’t worry though, Musicmarkers Ltd pull out all the stops on this one. Taking their inspiration from a traditional Hebrew folk song, ‘Havah Nagilah’, they use the original middle eastern influences, blend [...]
Snow? What’s that then…
Butti 49 – Alan Accelerates (Fenomenon’s Snowjogg 87 Remix) (MP3)
A snow themed post in the midst of a British summer…?
I am afraid so. It’s been a while since I have had to deal with those joyous Arctic like conditions; Sri Lanka doesn’t much like seasonal change. One year in to my stay in the tropics [...]
It’s The Weekend…!
Class Action – Weekend (Original 12″ Mix) (MP3)
After a week that has felt more like a month (a 31 day one at that), thankfully, the joyous event that we call the weekend, is finally upon us. To celebrate this, more so than normal, here is a classic bit of disco action from a Leroy Burgess [...]
Anywhere Through Space Or Time…
Akasha – Brown Sugar (MP3)
Akasha – Brown Sugar (PFM’s Cosmic Journey Mix) (MP3)
I was somewhat ambivalent over which version of this track to post. The original brings back very fond, hazy memories of being a narcotic induced 17/18 year old, no doubt on a descent to normality at one of the numerous friends after parties [...]
Make Love? Me No Make Love…
Mascara – Baja (MP3)
A quick disco fix in the way of Mascara, and their fantastically narrated, bilingual hit, ‘Baja’. Produced by Jurgen S. Korduletsch and mixed by the 80’s workhorse “Jellybean” Benitez, this was released on both the Oh MY! and Personal record labels back in 1984…
Most plays of this 12″ come in the form [...]
