HUMANOID - stakker humanoid ( lost hit )

Hello again.. Another of my favorite nightclub songs was this one.The main sound was from a Roland TB-303 synthesizer and a Roland TR-808 rhythm composer.What i like about this song apart from the great acid sound is the pumping bass...Released around 1988..One to be played loud... aceeeed.


If you ever had the urge to dance to this song in your lingerie this is how you'd look .. haha


After Brian Dougans aka "humanoid" ended this, he went on to become part of "the future sound of London".

TALK TALK - THE PARTY'S OVER

Hi and welcome back... This is another album I found at my local library in my teens, great blend of synths, electric drums and the magic voice of Mark Hollis..
Set free in 1982 the album had the same producer as Duran Duran's first albums, with that raw edginess before they went mainstream. 'The Partys Over' had a few hits of this album including "It's so Serious", "Today", "Talk Talk" and "The Party's Over" which is my pick of the album .. love its melodic synths and the driving beat..

This album was huge in south africa going to No1 in the music charts while it's hometown U.K it only managed no23.. See the South Africans know good music  : )

THE TIMELORDS - doctor'n the tardis ( lost hits )

Hi and welcome back... The timelords ( time boy & lord rock ) were a novelty band that were better known as " the klf ", aka "the jams" or "justified ancients of mu mu" ... I am a huge fan of "the klf" ( Kopyright Liberation Front )  and have traveled 2.5 hours just to get their chill out album when it first came out ( that's dedication for you ).Doctorin the tardis is a mash up song of the Dr Who theme and Gary glitters song = rock & roll part 2 and it was a huge song... went to no1 in the U.K. and no10 in Australia but it was also the car in the video that stole the limelight, named "ford timelord" it was a ford galaxy done up as a U.S police cruiser.. The video was shot at a RAF base (  yatesbury ) in Wiltshire , U.K. and cost around 8,000 pound to make.
My favourite songs of the klf would be "wichita lineman was a song i once heard" ( it puts chills up my spine ) and "last train to trancentral".. both videos are below.. enjoy a little slice of heaven :)
