Spurred on by the success of Hoodoo's childhood fascination, I gunna trying to find out WTF I was listen to in the 80's...
I believe it was an famous/large (now obscure) 80's english indie band, but the only proper clue I have for you to go on was that the album included a song with the Martin Luther king jr "I have a dream" audio clip
....it was my brothers tape (remember them?) so I didn't acquire it myself, hence no idea of what the name was (when ask he just answers "huh?"), but it bugs me regularly.
Any idea's?
Rings a bell. Could it be Big audio Dynamite?
The kings of the sample so yeah could be but I don't recall a Martin Luther one.
It wasn't Abba was it?
Primal Scream "come together" samples jesse jackson
awesome record now as it was then..
Just listened to Big Audio Dynamite: E=MC2, and see what you mean about the samples, not sure this is the band I'm looking for though, as I don't remember any other use of samples & suggest it would be early 80's (pre 86 @ a guess)
DD, being a child of the 70's I know every ABBA song, so would remember that..
Malvern Rider, "english" band.. but thanks for the suggestions, as my google-fu has failed me.
could it be OMD? a song called 'southern'?
Enigma Moodfood?
I do believe we have may well have a winner... Sadexpunk, OMD's "Southern" makes a lot of sense even if the tune isn't 'that' familiar, I shall acquire a copy of the album and see. It's only been a couple of month since I got their "Singles" for likes of Tesla girls 😀
I was flicking through youtube the other day and came across trans-x living on video, that brought back memories! The 80s was a great decade for music, but maybe not for hairdo's.
Man I'm enjoying this album "OMD's: The Pacific Age", again can't say I remember it much, but it has to be the one I've been looking for (for 20ish years)
Again thanks sadexpunk & resource that is STW!
haha, no probs mate, this forums ace innit 🙂
