Johnny Dangerous - Problem No.13


And Halloween is here again, this is one of our favourite "creepy" dance track ever, Johnny Dangerous ( from the Foremost Poets) deliver a dark sinister tune with all the elements to scare us off, and he talks about "...I'll Beat That Bitch with a Bat" (What a jolly nice fella!!!), but we'll give it to ya in a much more peaceful and moody instrumental "Mystery Night".
Have a happy Halloween all of ya!!!
P.S. We're Off on holiday (......YES!!!!!) for ten days. See ya Later!!!!!!!

The Quick - Zulu (1981)

Colin Campsie & George McFarlane, the two members of The Quick reached a good level of popularity in the 80' as artists and as producers for acts like Haywoode and Girls Can't Help It,
very imaginative in its use of keyboards, "Zulu" is a pure electronic delight, hunting echoed bassline and some tribal elements, they were ahead of their time, the American remix is by another popular name :John Luongo. This is a rare extended instrumental version.

Nathalie - My Love Won't Let You Down (1983)


We've already talked on these pages about the eclectic sound of Peter Godwin, during his moment of success at the begin of the '80 apart from his own work he produced this Belgian pretty girl called Nathalie, the song was released in French language ("Mon Coeur Qui Craque") and in English, in both cases the vocals were a bit too much Euro-pop for our tastes, but the music and arrangement is pure electronic-Godwin-cosmic style, that's why we present it in a rare instrumental remix.

Blancmange - Game Above My Head (1984)


Among all the artists that populated the great British Invasion period in the 8o's, Blancmange had always a special place in my heart, they were original and didn't fell in the "production Machine" that was routine at the time. "Game Above My Head" (here in a wonderful extended version) is a perfect example of an electronic moody track with wonderful vocals and a magnificent arrangement.

Rinder & Lewis - Willie And The Hand Jive (1979)

I believe that this is one of the tracks that made me fall in love with electronic disco in first place, I remember listen to it for the first time in a club in an inferno of smoke, strobelights and lasers,
all the wonderful elements, from the neverending sequencer, the epic choirs and the apocalyptic bells give to this unique tune the impression of a real dream soundtrack, realized by two veterans of Disco like Rinder & Lewis, already popular for Disco classics under the names Of El Coco, Le Pamplemousse, Tuxedo Junction and St Tropez, this is a real classic that will stay forever in the history of cosmic electric disco, here is in a rare remastered and re-edit instrumental Mix.
