Guest Dr Pickles Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Not rare soul, but............. Ignore the video and turn it up loud, this would fit in with an upfront funky set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imi9Smkt_cI ATB Doc Edited February 14, 2014 by Dr Pickles Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Markw Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sounds rather too electro and 80s for my taste Doc. Maybe you should digest the thread about the Four Vandals? See you tomorrow night. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dr Pickles Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Philistine. I like it and it reminds me of mid to late 70's funk. I'll be looking forward to Saturday and your unique view on the soul scene. I'm especially looking forward to our "cut and thrust" critique of what's being played by the dj's.

Spacehopper Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) not bad,good for today!! as in compared to most modern music...yes would have been better recorded in the 70s as it has that too crisp modern sound as did the four vandals compared to levines 70s productions IMO see you both tomorrow dean Edited February 14, 2014 by spacehopper Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Pile of sh*te Why would anyone into Northern want to hear stuff 'similar' to this played? Edited February 14, 2014 by Pete S 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dr Pickles Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Oh Pete, you'd be surprised what else some of us listen to. I'm not suggesting it's played out, I just thought it was interesting. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulhawk1960 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think she's great. Maybe not this particular track but I love most of her stuff. Very talented lady. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I see. Yes I guess so, it's ok. I thought you meant we should all go out and dance to it, apologies for misinterpreting. You'd be surprised what I listen to to be honest...though to be fair, it doesn't include a lot of soul music. Lot of Northern maybe. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hint of Justine Timberland and Frank Farrell Williams in the backing.Not a bad effort for today's people. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Northern Soul Uk Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I like it!! As a new recording and release I think it's decent.

Guest penny Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sounds like a James Brown production from the 70s rip off. Somebody's been listening to Lynn Collins / Marva Whitney that guitar riff is off a jb record, cant think which one, something off black caesar or slaughters big rip off maybe. Cool song though, I think, love that cow bell when ut comes in and p.f. definitely has talent and character Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Barry Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I like it, saw her do it on Norton last night - backing is more Washington Go Go than anything but it made me butt move. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 that guitar riff is off a jb record, cant think which one, something off black caesar or slaughters big rip off Mik, the guitar riff is "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, isn't it?! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sunnysoul Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Her voice is very thin and reedy , lacking in substance and depth, just another poppette like Joss Stone, Duffy, Amy Winehouse trying very hard to sound black, isn't she? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If this would fit with what is getting played at nighters now, then I'm well out of touch (thankfully). 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If this would fit with what is getting played at nighters now, then I'm well out of touch (thankfully). Aye, it's not exactly a cutting edge sound, not even the cutting edge of retro, but it works as a party record from 1994 and that girl is a pretty cool character by today's drab standards, when your average youth icon unwinds by shopping around for competitive insurance quotes. Anyway joe, we're old c***s now, this must be a revival of the 90s revival. Can imagine some facebook types saying 'omg, that is, like, so old school? It samples, like, justin timberland?' Shit. Maybe I should fuck all this r&b off, dust off my old 12s and start a revival of the acid jazz revival, it's the british way after all. Played some far out stuff back then, remember those 10 minute long prestige and blue note tracks?! Wow. In retrospect, that scene was shit. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You missed your chance with the Acid Jazz revival, Mik - shoulda done it a couple of years ago when they had the 25th anniversary. Say what you want about the scene but it did turn a a lot of the younger dudes in the 80s onto Jazz, soul and funk. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jnixon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Her voice is very thin and reedy , lacking in substance and depth so is the production. its horrible. a poor copyist or someone decent gave them a cast off and run off with a few hundred grand laughing hysterically. i couldnt see any self respecting dj who takes time to search for then play old records, playing this. having said that, im sure ill get asked for it at some point this year.

Jordirip Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I can't hear any Go Go in it, well ok, there's a cowbell in the background, and I can't hear any 80's/90's rare groove/acid jazz going on either? It's a decent new release that should sound good in clubs, it's definitely an antidote to clubland house music or soporiphic Rn'B. I'm sure it'll end up being played at some local Northern night, especially if they do another video with some northern 'style' hoofers in the background.

Say what you want about the scene but it did turn a a lot of the younger dudes in the 80s onto Jazz, soul and funk. absolutely, me included. The old music played on that scene was good - generally managed to sit nicely between the cheesier jazz-funk and the more raucus funk which came in later. the new records were often pretty bad though, until that sort of mo wax sound got a bit more interesting and less like lift music. It was responsible for jamiroquai as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
