Looks like I'm in a KLF/Orb kinda mode so here's a cover from the badorb projects as imagined by Thomas Fehlmann. Happy Labor Day!

Just before the left the music business, we were treated to maybe The KLF's finest hour. Well, not this. There's a live performance I'll have to link later in a comment, but for now....MERRY CHRISTMAS and ENJOY

This was one of the badorb.com projects - Alex's brother Martin was listed as writer/producer and his... father, I think? provided the "vocals." This closed out one of the "Le Petite Orb" DJ sets I attended in San Francisco back in the day and was a pretty emotional moment due to the family involvement.

Shit, it's September already. Two thirds of the way through 2016...but so much music left...

(I do a killer karaoke version of this, by the way)

One of the lesser known Skinny Puppy offshoots, this one was a big favourite of one of my college roommates...and, later, me too.

Hey how about another Orb remix? This one was special because, shoot, Tangerine Dream, are you kidding, come on, get outta here. (Actually not a STELLAR track, I must admit... but still neat historically)

CRZ-241
Tangerine Dream
Towards the Evening Star (Mandarin Cream Remix)

Vince always loved the one-offs between long-term gigs. Even after kinda stabilizing with Erasure, he STILL had that VCMG project...but I'm getting ahead of myself (and also not sharing any of those tracks) - the B side of this one is really good, too. Maybe I WILL share that one later today...we'll see if I remember by the time this autoposts.

This song is guaranteed to empty the dancefloor because I think I'm the only person in the world who likes it. (So I bury it on a Sunday, I guess!)

18.8.16 12:23 
Hey, this album is coming back in a big way! This track really has nothing to do with what I've been sharing this week, other than I really like it...but that applies to EVERYTHING I share, so...um....I got nothing. That's OK.

So much more than a cool breakdance album, although it is certainly a cool breakdance album, this track always felt like it was way ahead of its time.

Sometimes it's a marvel I heard ANY of this stuff on the radio when I did. I owe "Hot Rock 102" a lot, I guess. Probably the first "Miami bass" I was exposed to in the center of California.

CRZ-224
Freestyle
Don't Stop the Rock

NOW we're talkin' FREESTYLE! (Also, another buried male vocal and I'm tickled again and can't explain WHY)

CRZ-223
Connie
Rock Me
1986

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWuF0BiYhps
9.8.16 09:23 
Another song which went through multiple iterations, and probably the one you heard first was the one you thought was the best. Hmmm, we're kind of turning into a freestyle week...

WOW this is a very "eighties" video

CRZ-222

I was always tickled by the original version still having a male (guide?) vocal buried in there, especially during the "by YOUR siiiiiiide" bit. "Hmm, wonder which one of the three ladies on the album cover was the bass..." They later rerecorded it and it was much less fun. Hopefully I have linked you to the version I wanted you to hear. Happy Monday!

This song hit it pretty big while we were moving from El Paso to Modesto, so every time I found it on the radio, I made whichever parent was unfortunate enough to be driving the car I was in listen to it. My parents couldn't wait for disco to die quick enough.

This is one of my very favourite-est remixes...I think it's the slowdown/speedup bit that seals it for me. Have a great weekend!

Another AMP/Underworld (but mostly Underworld) track. The 1990s were pretty good to me musically.

Another "pastiche/sample" video I learned about through the great MTV show "AMP." We're really missing out by not getting shows like this anymore. (Or maybe they're airing somewhere and I just don't know about it?)

Kraftwerk were in transition and this one-off got lost in the shuffle...it was later worked into a very danceable track during their live concerts called "Planet of Visions."
