Ian Parker Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 why is Interplay welcomed at a 'soul' night, but Esperanto is frowned upon ? as far as im concerned, they're both as bad as the other. neither are remotely related to R n B/Soul in any form, yet Derek & Ray always fill a dancefloor, yet i darent spin The Grand Piano company for fear of a lynch mob! strange world we live in
Pete S Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Not really...Interplay at least has something about it, a bit of drama, Esperanto is just lift music 1

Ernie Andrews Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 The problem is that Northern soul didnt actually embrace soul music per se - It took whatever had a dance beat! If it was soul in its origin all the better but it was not exclusive!

Guest MrC Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 The problem is that Northern soul didnt actually embrace soul music per se - It took whatever had a dance beat! If it was soul in its origin all the better but it was not exclusive! Plenty of threads around to support this point too. Doesn't answer the question though does it? Weren't Derek & Ray white, dinner suited, piano players? I can't imagine the Grand Piano Company as anything different either! So, as neither record is a "Soul" record, why is it ok to play one, but not the other? I used to love Esperanto in the big room at Wigan, it was around the time of an awful lot of instrumental tracks, 99% of which weren't soul records, wouldn't mind if I heard it in a lift/shopping centre either! (sure there's another thread for that somewhere too!) :D

Guest MrC Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Because one's pretty good and the other's sh*t. But you used to like the Jewels Pete.... OOPS... wrong thread.... Sure I've seen you dance to both in your time though!

Pete S Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone for Baja Marimba Band? Brilliant instrumental!
Guest ritchie Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Said it before will say it again...... NO ROOM FOR HARPSICHORDS IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM ...and Grand Piano Co is S**T
Guest MrC Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Right, gun to your head, got to play one, which would it be? Esperanto, Joe 90, Theme from the Fantastic Plastic Machine, Police Story, or Coloured Man

Guest miff Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Unopened still sealed Original demo copy from 1966 just carnt bring myself round to open it and play it, its been intact for so long
sir cumference Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Unopened still sealed Original demo copy from 1966 just carnt bring myself round to open it and play it, its been intact for so long Pity it somebody opened it in Wigan in the mid `70`s.
macca Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 In terms of musicianship, interplay is quite a performance. I can imagine the muppet house band pulling it off quite well. rhona's theme for me is dreadful, though I do love sidra'a theme. I think one can appreciate them for what they are, northern instrumentals sadly out of favour. I love a good instrumental. davis & tyler, for example. wouldn't give esperanto house room...
