Straight in, no kissing:

Cash - what needs to be said? True legend, one of the most iconic, recognisable voices ever to be recorded imo.
YF - new to me, like.
AC - again what needs to be said? For my money she is the most credible female pop star/musician(that's the important part for me, the fact she actually writes, plays and co-produces her music) in modern era. I have two poss three more of her tracks in my potentials list to bring forward. She's lush
MR - this is new to me and I really like... Great summer feel good flavour to it.
MB - echoes of Sotomayor, enya and some other cinematic sounding efforts.
S
BC - absolutely cracking record and undoubtedly the standout track on Warrens master series mix on Renaissance.
Turtle - really strong record... Correct amount of quirky noises but retaining melody for it to be right up street. Subsequently found some other nice things from them and gone in my playlist.
HV - it's pretty dece isn't it?! He does seem to have a way of really working with strong vocals and keeping them pure as opposed to chopping them up (which quite frankly I thhink we could all do after a day of messing around on a basic set up)... For this reason and several others I will always hold him in high regard no matter what types of criticism he gets. Top lad.
Essay - this is ace.... Have to say I buzz more off Eulbergs remix though. Top tune of the summer.
BJ &S - love the original - this is the one though. Great track.
Strong work gents.
Well, it's been a while since Bedrock at Heaven... I've just about got myself back on track ;)
That really was a special night musically... And it's the theme for my five. I've mentioned to both of you about a separate space for us to throw our memories in... I do think it would be a great way to share stories and music but it would be completely open season and just add as you find and flick out an email to say anything should you want to.
So the tune that took 13 years off me and made it all come flooding back... And what a belter:-
Hellers remix of Mobys Southside.... This was possibly one of the first "moments" I had towards the end of a bedrock night (wasn't last tune by any stretch) but he did bring the lights up at the drop and the place was electric, incredible atmosphere..that great trancey but driving prog that we all coveted so much back then... I still love it now.. Hence I lost my mind hearing it on that system again. Superb.
This is all about some of my fave memories from bedrock so rather than just regurgitating the tunes from the Easter evening I thought I'd base it around some of those other big moments from the main rooms...
D.Vegas - never got fed up of the bass on this.... Vocal is dated but it was one of those "signal" tracks at the time for a couple of months or so... It got played you knew it was about to kick up a gear. Great groove the got us all going and smiling for the inevitable pummelling thereafter. Crowd favourite.
I'll never forget hearing the sinister vocal : it began in Afrika ka ka... It bean in Afrika ka ka.... I swear everyone stopped dead looking round like what is going on? It may not be the best track he ever played but Christ it had an impact first time you heard it... It also demonstrates perfectly just how awesome a tune can sound on a bug system but not transfer to small sound listening (imo) I wouldn't necessarily pick this tune but brings back ace memories of London followed by Brighton the next night when he looped the fuck out of it and clearly enjoyed seeing the London lot for the night before screaming blue murder knowingly at him from the dance floor. Good times.
Staying with Brighton... And I have searched in TOTAL and I hope I've not missed/overlapped on
something already added(??):
Kid loops on netherworld. Christ that was so good.... SO good... Lisle knocked it out the park with this... Thanks to someone for lending him the plastic to play :) Beautiful record
RDS - again not the best record ever made but screw me sideways if you don't remember hearing this the first time. This was a "one more.... one Moooooore" tune at the very end of the eve. And it knocked 7 bells out of me. Build. Tease. Build. Tease. Build. Kill me now. In hindsight it is almost unbearably repetitive but again on the main floor it just worked so very very well.
Bless the memories, bless the music - thanks for sharing some of the above good times with me at various stages.... And thanks for being patient with me.
Keep on Keeping on,
Always,
H
