last two for today:

a faster tempo version of this was released a while ago but you can never get it on youtube unfortunately, the original still holds its own though:

some of the music to the Harry Potter films is very good, but tends to work in segments (as per its usage in the film) rather than standalone tracks, i love the start to this one though:

yeah! M.E.S in the area!

saw them a few times - the best gig was in Liverpool, complete with real polythene carrying bag men in the audience!

this is one of them video's which works on many different levels - and a classic underated 90's tune.....

Quality, it put one or two smiles on my face...

I never caught up with Mr Smith, but your description sounds about right, I bet that was an experience...!

I saw these boys in my local boozer 19 years ago, which was quality, the landlord knows DG.

Here's one of my favourite bands of all time.


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skYBE38Sl38

never saw the pixies, but always liked their stuff and the breeders as well. i saw the wedding present a few times, they were one of those indie bands that would tour the whole country from top to bottom so you were sure to see them at some point (like the house of love during the same late 80s / early 90s period). I met Grapper as he was selling the merchandise prior to the gig!

this is one of my favs. from the WP (along with 'why are you being....'), i'm sure you've heard it but this is the only non-live version i can find on yt, so ignore the visual content!!!

I've only got POD by the breeders, but it's a great first album, I had a listen to it tonight and thought this was worth sharing.


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GILAXLEUCiI

Bloody hell, The house of love. I'm glad you mentioned them, as I would never have posted anything by them, being fairly certain no one had heard of them... I couldn't decide whether to play Shine On or Destroy the Heart as I'm writing this... Happy memories. There are so many good bands around this time, Ride, That Petrol Emotion, The Smiths, The Ultra Vivid Machine, The LAs, Sonic Youth and the list goes on... It's hard not to jump around too much on this thread.

Good WP track BTW, hopefully here's another.

Enjoy Thursday night, it should be good if that link is anything to go by. I'm a massive Beatles and Unkle fan, so they both hit the spot. I especially liked the Isaac Hayes tune, very cool and added to my favourites I might add.

You've linked me into a song I've wanted to post for a while, thanks.

If you've not looked at his back catalogue I'd recommend 'Black Moses' and if you can find it 'To be continued .....' . My personal favourite ...................


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_azDWWK3Ug


This is off the 'To be continued' album which runs continuously and that was off side one which blends seemlessly into this ............


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8tgR1wmLfM

Any other name is a classic. I've spent the last hour looking for the track that uses this as a sample, I kept expecting a nice rolling hardhouse beat to kick in. I thought it was a Sasha & Digweed tune that sampled it on one of their Nothern Exposure CD's but I couldn't find it... Never mind I got to listen to lots of good music whilst I was looking.

The tune's Jakkata .............. American Beauty.

I've heard some Isaac Hayes, but not enough. You need a lot of time on your hands to catch up with an artist like this. The first song is a corker.

I found that, but it wasn't the same beat rolling over the top, perhaps it's a remix. I'll keep looking...

Two of my favourite tunes. The first is from 1977 and the second from 1982 both produced by electronic disco pioneer Patrick Cowley, who was a big influence on bands like New Order.

Excellent stuff .............. pure disco isn't something I've greatly collected but it's not through a dislike, more through a lack of source of information on what, or more importantly who to research. Thanks for the link. Personally, the nearest I've explored to disco and one of my favourite all time "dance like no-one's looking" tune is this .......


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dmX2uhQrZs


Wasn't sure whether to post this as I suspect some people holding a certain position may incorrectly class this to be a 'derogatory commentry" post but I will assure it isn't. I just think that this tune has one of the finest rythm and percussion sections I've heard for an incredibly long time.


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFeR7tQNdo

Don't worry this thread is out of bounds for that sort of thing. Both excellent tunes I might add although the linking is disabled for the Stone Roses. BTW how was DJ Cheeba?

You'll have to excuse the video on this next one, but I don't need to offer any excuses for the track. Nice rolling beat...

Came across the above whilst looking for the below (forewarning:contains profanity, sexism and conjures violent images but has some a great breaks...........)



From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSuixzNXQMc

Now the question i ask who should get the recognition for inventing that break ?

Could it be someone in North London during the late 80's ?


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wfYrDyb66o


Loved this version I found on youtube, but after watching it I can't work out why I suddenly what to get a copy of Bill & Ted's excellent adventure ?

another one of my personal favourites from the 1980's

Got the original Cheryl Lynn version somewhere in a box in the loft.


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW7ZShFsBl0


Love the era of mid to late 80's and the influence that a technology leap had upon music. The version you posted is probably a classic example and has been beefed up with the looped sample from James Brown's Funky Drummer, probably one of the most used break samples prior to the Winston's 'Amen Brother' break. (Also various Public Enemy (Bomb Squad) Samples)




From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNP8tbDMZNE
(sample from 5:35)


Another example was this particular tune (also encorporates Faze-o's 'Riding High) which I'm in no doubt you recognise .............


From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeuebY6Cypg

Though for my pallette the original version by Rose Royce is unbeatable.

Unfortunately a Thursday Night in central London is a logistical nightmare for me and I missed the gig but am still keeping any eye out for a more suitable venue ............ might gamble that perhaps he'll play the festival circuit later in the year (Big Chill or Bestival preferrably) and I'll catch his new set then.

If you like the style of his sets feel free to investigate more ..................... he's just released an audio set on Soundcloud here.

Are you suggesting it's Soul II Soul?

Ah shame. You've got to see these bands/DJ's when you can before they disappear. I've been stung a few times now! Thanks for the tip off I'll listen to the audio set later.

Just to mirror my eclectic music collection, here's something slightly different, just be grateful I didn't post their song called "Don't" which I have to say is a favourite of mine, the only problem is I want to smash the house up or drive at 173MPH when I listen to it... You know music's doing its job when it changes your behaviour!

Personally I have real difficulty in trying to determine sometimes whether a break nowadays is sampled or freshly constructed as sample laws now limit how the sample is re-used in commercial recordings. There's the obvious breaks which to me stand out through familiarity but it is getting more and more difficult. To me this is a great shame as I personally love to investigate the use and source of samples and in doing so gain an appreciation of the complexity and craftmanship of the construction of a song which uses samples.

There are some artists/bands who still break boundaries and create modern breaks ...............

From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvTF6B5XKxQ


Seen all the above live and it is a wonder to see them replicate so closely their recordings.

Kind of looking for new directions of interest to investigate so appreciate all posts.

You've made your first sale! I've just bought Every Day by Cinematic Orchestra, thanks!

I'm in the same boat, I've stuck in a musical cul-de-sac and I'm slowly retracing my footsteps to find another way out, I'm always looking for new music but there hasn't been any revolutionary for quite a while now. I love broken beats, but it seems to need something else to take it further... I'm still looking.

This might be a bit violent for some and I'm sure the purists will hate it. He's done some really experimental stuff, some good some bad, but I love this album even though I've been listening to it for 12 years, it's still fresh in my mind. I saw him in Melbourne 10 years ago, it brings back good memories!
