Tomangoes Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 So Stevie Would you say that true modern is perhaps a scene on its own and has passed the point of being included in the Northern Soul spectrum at least until it's a few years old?

Speedlimit Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Why should it be ommited from northern rooms it wasn't in the late 70's and 80's that sort of attitude as caused the splits within the scene . resulting in the sad state it's in now . everything in one room how it should be. The New sounds will soon grow on you 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Timillustrator Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) 22 hours ago, tomangoes said: I guess the concensus is if it sounds soulful to you, and you can dance to it, then it can well be Northern Soul. It's flexible on soulfullness but not so much danceability.. However you cant shuffle to afternoon of the rhino anymore than you can stomp to house for sale. Modern generally follows the soulful disco style and the dance style that goes with it. So I would agree it can all be Northern Soul to some even if it's soulful disco or r n b to others. Modern clearly should really just be a tag for current and recent releases. I see a parallel here with architecture - "Modern" architecture was a style (of variety of styles) that became prevalent from the 20's to the 60's. Since then some architects still designed in the style but most moved on and built on the foundations and changed it into something else. In architecture "Postmodern" then became the term and now there's even more labels. So both "Modern" and "Postmodern" architecture are historical styles "Contemporary" is sometimes now used but probably even more meaningless, well I think it's similar. "Postmodern soul" anyone?

I thought back in the day when some venues did plug in the CD player that the scene would have progressed onto this being the norm , it’s seems the thread got dropped along the way , there’s loads of great titles and they are peanuts and some of them can or are quite rare to get hold off .

Tomangoes Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Nice track. I likes a bit of Gospel I do! However a 15 year old record just getting spins? How modern is modern? It would have been a push at Wigan to play much 15 years old! Modern is either recent releases... Or modern sounding danceable soul with the same kind of beat etc as this track, emanating from perhaps 1980 onwards. But I find it hard to say it means both.

I like the way some of the dancers have got into the swing of it with the Latin / salsa movement. Not a shred of soul in though. Would this be Northern Salsa:) Heard a few similar tunes at the 100 club a few years ago from a guest dj. My ignorance kicked in as they all sounded the same to my cloth ears.

It's a great record (got a lot of this stuff when it was fairly new on CD thanks to Roger Williams) - but I'd certainly agree a lot of it's pretty formulaic - specially when you listen to 20 odd artists in a row where the percussion track is pretty much interchangeable... And of course it's now 15 years old - older than some 60s discoveries were when they were being played at Stafford!
