Week 21

So I decided to go waaaayyy back for this one.  Didn't realise until right now that most of these were in the UK charts in the same year.  Seems like 1983 was a great year for music!



Flying Pickets - Only You



Nena - 99 Luftballons



Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)



Talking Heads - Burning Down The House



Men At Work - Down Under

Week 20

I had these tunes in mind for this week's blog, but yesterday I was thinking of something a little more appropriate like Prophets of Rage or Captain SKA instead.  But I'm going to stick with what I originally thought.

So here's something different to start before kinda following on from last week's dancy stuff then something even more different to end with.



Aphex Twin - Avril 14th
As I said in a previous post I'm a sucker for the piano so here's something completely different by AT.  The whole Drukqs album has multiple personality disorder.




The Orb - Toxygene (Single)
This is one of the rare times I prefer a single edit to the original.  To me the original takes too much time to get to the meat of the song.  Nothing wrong with that but I just want to get to the bouncy beat!



Orbital - Satan
I never really paid much attention to Orbital until I switched on the radio and it was halfway through this track.  There something Aphex Twin/The Prodigy about it.



Basement  Jaxx - Where's Your Head At
Great tune with a mad video.



The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist
Remember how I said I like weird things?

Week 19

Some bands that I'd probably not be that interested in if it wasn't for these songs.  A bit laid back this week.


Stereo MC's - Get Connected



Stereo MC's - Deep Down And Dirty



Massive Attack - Teardrop



Faithless - Insomnia



Robert Miles - Children
