Lp: Deseo Carnal (Desire of Flesh) 1984 Hispavox Spain

LP: Wonderland

There first one...and not their best...yet it included "who needs love like that"

Artist: Fangoria

Single: En mi prision (in my prison)

Emi hispavox spain.

It was house music...way ahead of its time...released in a country

that just had no clue about club culture

A very cool video that was shown on TV only a handfull of times

I've listed it here mainly because "I LOVE" the remixed version

by spain's "PUMPIN' DOLLS"

Artist: formualV

single: Cuentame (tell me)

beat generation group from the 60's in Spain...with this energetic tune.

Artist: Inner City

LP: Paradise 1989

One of the best LP's of its time. Released by this duo from Detroit

but thru the help of Virgin UK. Very successful in the UK...one was

hoping that it would make its way to the U.S as well...however

MTV and Jack-swing radio passed on it in the U.S.

Artist: Gougoush

Year: ?? (probably 1973)

single 45rpm

Country: Iran

A side: man va gonjishkhaa

B side: man o to

Incredible production on "man o to" (me and you), placin her

unique powerfull voice over heavy conga playing, John barry

James Bond'ish horn section, Herbie Mann like flute playing

& Bethoven like string section attacks.

Artist: robert owens

Year: 1991

single 45rpm

RCA

"I'll be your friend"

The Fingers Inc. vocalist...with his sad & full of vulnerability vocals

over a strange but effective house drum track by David Morales

very emotional, minimalistic and nocturnal.

We were his audience...all the miss-understood club people.

Artist: Kid Creole and the coconuts

Year: 1982

album

Wore the grooves out of this "lecture" in style, cosmopolitanship, funk

swing, big-band...etc.. from the guy behind "Savannah Band".

This Lp was carefully studied by many UK new wave bands.
