Astaire - I've Been Down That Road Before (1985)


And here we are in full Hi-Nrg paradise, Astaire was one of the main bands for Passion , probably together with Record Shack, one of the major hi-nrg labels in UK. They were known mostly for tracks like "Love Trap" and "Fire Me Up", this is less known and was never released as a single in its own, was a special free bonus record for one of their collections, and like most songs of this style has got that "Show Tune Feeling", but is a feel-good uplifting dance number and in our opinion deserves to be remember...Now, where did I put my little yellow bottle???

We all know Cerrone for his seventies Electronic work, this is a new musical approach for the eighties, when he was looking for a different sound, High Energy made with a sophisticated touch,wonderful piano and pleasurable vocal with a great melody, the remix is by Steve Barnacle popular for his work with Visage, Corie Josias and Erasure.

Do Piano - Again (1985)



I remember that in 1985 during a night in the infamous London club Heaven, the great Ian Levine, at the time uncontested resident DJ, near the end of the night in the middle of his High Energy selection dropped this bomb, percussive, a killer sub bassline and with very low mysterious and hunting semi-talked vocals that keep repeating "Again....again...again" during the verses and explode in an instrumental strings played chorus. The crowd (and ME!!!) was absolutely mesmerized. The track is produced by a Frenchman called Jean-Jacques Souplet , popular artistic director, responsible amongst the other things for the Afro orientated track "Sultana" by Titanic.
