Martin's vocal delivery for love songs both in Suicide and performing solo always much loved...

 

Wow. Where has this been my whole life. Where should I begin with Martin Rev?

[bartlebyyphonics]

@Suitedupmon glad to introduce such silliness to people...

for me see me ridin' is the best of the three rev albums I know, bought as cd in a 2nd hand sf record store, listened on repeat driving to la... (others I have listened to... strangeworld and clouds of glory)

would be happy to grow old as gracefully...

[bartlebyyphonics]

but to move from the synth and to a little more of [a distended take on] metal, but keeping to the love of distortion, and thinking of strong car tunes combined with a patient attitude...

boris, absolutego, is a strong example of Japanese noisenixz learning from the sludge metal of the melvins [gluey porch treatments strongest recommend...]

tfw when the drums finally kick in... [after about 20 minutes...]

I like Boris a lot. The album that they did with Sunn O))) is one of my favorites.

[MJF9]

Cultural madness - Quadrant Park nightclub in Liverpool, 1990s sometime

The tune is n-joi anthem, though you have to listen hard

Goosebumps at ~26 seconds

Great footage. You ravers are nuts 

[bod]

The Orbit near Leeds was my haunt 1993/4, this short clip is NYE 1994 which I missed, loved it in there.. sniff

I first started going out raving in 1990 at The Limit in Sheff cos i could get in at 16  historically (pre-rave) it was a legendary punk/alt kind of joint.. followed by The Porterhouse at Retford, i loved this place but one of my DJ/Pirate radio hero's Chris Duckenfield had a shotgun pulled on him by one of the owners when he went to collect his £200 fee after months of packing the joint to the rafters so sadly that came to an end, I also liked Insomniak at Occasions in Sheff and Creation at the City Hall wasn't bad either... here's a little clip of the scene in the city on the cusp of acid-house, this was in the FON days, pre-Warp. I never got into Jiveturkey, i was too young and it was a bit too dressy for my steeze.

...a few goosebumpers for me, i met my Mrs when we're were a pair of loved up 18yr olds, she lived in a hotel in Manchester on placement while doing a restaurateurs diploma so during the golden age i had the best of both sides of the Pennines.

these are brilliant  - @bod, @Double 0 Soul, @MJF9- the footage just takes you right back.  Been listening to a lot of older mixes - tho gonna sound old and say I could do with some of them being reduced by a few bpm for best listening now....

[MJF9]

Haha yeah a lower BPM works for me now and I was on the lower end of preferences back then

Still listen predominantly to Graeme Park but also sometimes old Boy George sets and Todd Terry on Mix Cloud

I wouldn't even know if you got clubs similar to the Quad, The State (Liverpool), Hacienda, Up Yer Ronson, Back to Basics etc with that kind of atmosphere these days.  Back then with no social media and hardly any cameras at all, it was all about a good night out

 

[MJF9]

While we're at it... Marina Van Rooy anyone?  Mesmerising voice, awesome

Yes - sometime wish id been more of an officianado and had known much more  but it was difficult to get the information. Also went to B2B and Up yer Ronson and Orbit and Saturday night Warehouse before it was Vague - and mid week nights were often even better sometimes like Joy and  Kaos. then you'd sometimes unwittingly find yourself at a really heavy acid night that was just too unrelenting just cos you were free that night and couldn't tell who djs were. Like you Doubleo also had Manchester friends so that was an alternative too and Nottingham DIY......... Sigh........

Don't mind putting my hands in the air for that...

While we're at it.. there was also a cool British hip-hop/rave cross over thing going on late 80's early 90's around the time of Soul II Soul, Bomb the Bass ect the likes of..

They're ringing bells ... the music is pretty raw and 'unprocessed' - part of the appeal at the time and still now

Edit - just realised... appropriate description for music on a denim forum!

after the '88' discussion on the contest thread, just sharing in the appropriate thread

rocket 88, early guitar distortion due to busted and jerry rigged equipment...

 

[CSL]

 

88 Boogie

Featuring Willie Dixon pre Chess Records

 

[Maynard Friedman]

I love that Konk track (and video) @Jared_Lee. The sound reminds me of Modern Romance, who were big in the UK in the early 80s.

 

Let's have some funky Friday feeling too!

@Jared_Lee @Maynard Friedman + positive reps for that full blue Adidas tracksuit... & complimentary blue romper suit!

This certainly wont help then

 

[Suitedupmon]

That didn't help at all...thanks . I'm familiar with Teruo Nakano's Computer Love cover. Both are amazing...

[Jurassic]

@Double 0 Soul thanks you have finally shifted this Kraftwerk inspired ear worm

[justintk]

You guys might appreciate this. I used to know the artist (not while he was active) but we sort of lost contact. Still appreciate the music though.

 

[Double 0 Soul]

Everything was getting 'Jacked' in the mid 80's wasn't it?... Jack your body.. Jack the groove..I'd rather Jack than Fleetwood Mac

I found this while rummaging through my mrs's junk drawer recently all the way from 1988

Super rep for Neneh... no style rookie!
