Benji Posted Monday at 21:53 Share Posted Monday at 21:53 I'm far from being a traditional northern soul fan. Infact I'm quite into new non-retro sound releases. But this one here, I'd say this is isn't soul at all. more like some cosmic balearic trance whatever underlayed with some beat. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted Monday at 22:37 Share Posted Monday at 22:37 I'm not sure yet, going to play this more, before I decide if I like it. I was buying stuff similar to this 10 years ago as new releases, I do like the production and there definitely soul in there. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sutty Posted Monday at 23:00 Share Posted Monday at 23:00 It’s a cover of Photek feat Robert Owens, a really sh*t one that sounds like some rock band on a minor stage at Glastonbury. Sam would definitely NOT play it lol 2 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Photek made some quality electronic music if you like that kind of thing. as for the original post a poor record really. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mod Life Crisis Posted yesterday at 06:42 Share Posted yesterday at 06:42 Gotta be honest folks, if I went to a rare soul or NS do and these records were being played, I would not be a happy chappy. I’m all for progressive sounds, this is just too far for my tastes. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Time and place for everything to shine , but for a 'northern soul' or 'soul' night it's just barrel-scraping. 1 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes although I like more modern dance music I wouldn’t want to hear it at a northern or rare soul night it’s not right IMO. time and a place indeed. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Fiftyboiledeggs Posted yesterday at 07:37 Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:37 Northern soul grew organically from finger pop Motown sound to funk, as black music production improved northern followed it, not all eg hip hop, go go but most of it- when Wigan came to an end then Stafford folded, the young breed kept going and found house- which was a backlash against overproduced pop soul- the golden years 1985-1987 produced incredible sounds that would have graced Wigan- CC rogers Someday- Nightwriters let The Music Take control, There have also been recent gems like Gabriel's Love and Hate. The problem with the Northern scene was that it didn't keep evolving like it did in the early years; it stagnated and got stuck in the past. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I remember Colin Curtis playing nothing but 12" singles of Jazz/funk. I never hear the term Jazz/ Funk anymore, does it still exist?

Gabriel's weak pop song that's basically MG's Grapevine sampled and watered down with a few tweaks and a couple of handclaps chucked in for good measure ...

The problem with the Northern scene was that it didn't keep evolving like it did in the early years; it stagnated and got stuck in the past. The problem with the northern soul scene is that it was a youth movement that was never meant to last this long. It’s now a retro movement. There’s some great music in there though that’s more than stood the test of time. To imagine that the northern scene is going to, or should, embrace a Robert Owens 12, is fantasy. The modern-modern side of the scene maybe, and events that play anything in one room, yes. Leave the northern scene as what it is IMHO, it’s doing a pretty good job on its own, and people love it, and go to different events if you want to hear Robert Owens. 5 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
