Emmanuel Top - Turkich Bazar - 11-Sep-07 08:09 AM
The distinctive lyrics "The music was new, black, polished chrome and came over the summer like liquid night" used in "Turkich Bazar" were written by Jim Morrison of The Doors fame. These lines are originally cited by the man himself in the poem "Black Polished Chrome", which appears on the Doors-LP "An American Prayer". There the poem continues with the (quite fitting) words "The DJs took pills to stay awake and play for seven days".
Zazu - Captain Starlight - 30-Aug-07 10:25 AM
Heres all that you would look for in a strong Cosmic Track: A mid-tempo disco beat getting spiced up by vocoder snarls, some very nice guitar licks and lyrics about getting lost in space and who to blame. An amazing Release. Not quite necessarily in terms of production or originality. In fact this record draws the majority of my personal amazement out of the fact that I would have associated Frank Zander for rather cheesy Pop songs. Up until now.
Digital Emotion - Get Up "Action!" - 17-Aug-07 05:04 PM
So I stumbled over the original version of this Track in a Mix Ive heard a couple of days ago. It answered a Question that kept creeping on me for quite a hile now: Say, Theyve really had an Idea with all that nice singing about Laserbeams and Rocket-Ships. So what the Hell made them put that into this steaming Pile of cheesy and cheap sounding Hi-NRG-Proto-Euro-House? Answer: Dont buy Italo-Disco if it was released after 1984. I strongly recommend you to check out the original 1983 Release on Break Records to actually learn enjoying this otherwise decently crafted Tune (Vocoders galore, some nice Guitar riff instead of the horrible Synth stabs here) and then completely agree with me.
Mark Imperial - Raw Grooves Vol. 1 - 18-Jan-05 12:27 AM
Given the fact that Mark Imperial released a cover of this 80ies pop song some five years prior to the world wide agonizing cannibalisation of Munichs Gigolos owes him at least two points for the idea. Actually youd have to take these right away for the realisation. A boring in-yer-face-bd and some quirky 303 works meeting the synths and the vocals of the original. What really takes the cake is the a-side: A trashy vocal-sample (ironically announcing "a musical masterpiece") on a "house" beat youd expect from the preset-section of your drummachine and the icing of this crap being delivered by the disastrous keyboards. A truly horrible release that has nothing in common with former stuff on this label like the recommendable "machines" by laurent x.
Various - Kompakt Für Cisco - 02-Dec-04 05:00 PM
...which could prove that you might need to understand the vox in order to like a record. the b2-track was a big hit in the german scene when released on Harvest initially. The samples are taken from an 70ies anti drug hymn ("Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb|The day Conny Kramer died") of (in)famous german singer Juliane Werding. Interesting to know that even this version of the song was just a german cover of the american civil war anthem "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
