Mel C has the best solo material out of all the Spice Girls and this remix of 'I Turn to You' is definitely up there with one of her best. It may have been a bandwagon jump but boy did she pull it off.
'Groovejet' is such a classic summer tune. I know it has it's fair share of haters but I think it sounds so cool and is great to sing along to; love the classical instrument usage (Clean Bandit who?) and the fading out and back in of "why does it feel bad" refrain near the end. I too am on the fence with 'Dare', but, like Iz, even though I'd say it was more dance than indie-rock, I can understand its exclusion. QUOTE(danG @ Jul 29 2016, 04:43 PM)  Liam, In My Arms won't be appearing, I was actually teasing a Dannii Minogue song. Ah, my bad! I know the song you're referring to now which is most definitely dance! |

I Turn To You could have done with a less cheesy instrumentation on the dance version. While it was ok at the time it hasn't aged well, in my opinion. I must check out other mixes.

Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)
 Date 10th Sep 2000 2 Weeks Official Chart Run 1-1-3-5-10-17-19-19-26-36-40-45-57-61-65-54-53-57-69-74-80-92-95-87-99-100- (26 weeks) Modjo was a French house duo, comprising of producer Romain Tranchart and vocalist Yann Destagnol, with Latin influences. Tranchart was introduced to house music when his family moved to Brazil and released his first record ‘What You’re Gonna Do, Baby’ under the moniker Funk Legacy in 1998. Destagnol had been a drummer in several bands before the pair met that year and began collaborating. It was from those initial recording sessions that ‘Lady (Hear Me Tonight)’ was born; featuring a guitar sample from Chic’s 1982 US release ‘Soup For One’ written by the legendary Nile Rodgers. The track was finally released across Europe in May 2000, picking up massive club and radio support across the continent that summer. When the track finally dropped in the UK in September, inevitably it stormed to #1 on sales of 142k, to deny Sonique a second UK #1 with ‘Sky, and finally broke a then record run of 12 consecutive one-week #1’s. The duo followed it up with the moderately successful ‘Chillin’’ which reached #12 in April 2001, and finally ‘What I Mean’ #59 October 2001 before a parting of the ways. ‘Lady (Hear Me Tonight)’ returned to the top10 in March 2001 as a mash-up with Brandy and Moncia’s ‘The Boy Is Mine’ titled ‘The Ladyboy Is Mine’ reaching #10 for the Stuntmasterz. |

I Turn To You...I've never found it *great* unfortunately
 I remember it sounding ok as a kid, but when I rediscovered it about eight years later I was kinda underwhelmed. The beat's too low down in the mix for it to properly kick - I suppose understandably so as it's intended as a Mel C dancepop song rather than a 'Hex Hector feat. Mel C' club track, so her vocals have to be far higher than the backing.But if there's a remix out there that keeps the trance sound but throws a harder beat in then I'm in for one hell of a heavenly listen! EDIT: And Modjo just as I was writing this! Nice and catchy, nostalgic of the era (think this was #1 the week I started secondary school), a nice listen if not on the level of the trancier stuff. EDIT EDIT: And cus I've been away for a few days...massive love for Time To Burn, an fantastic example of electro done right and a ton better than the stuff that was charting highly by 2006 or so. There's a dance #1 coming up very soon which mixes into this brilliantly, indeed several mix CDs of the era would feature them as a pair!

  Just checked my list and I think I know what you're referencing there Billy, and that is indeed a classic - even better than 'Lady'. |

I did hate it at the time. I think I bought it without hearing it as the dance mags raved about it, something I quite often used to do as singles were often cheaper in week one and I used to try and build up my collection.

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 (DJ Gius Remix)
 Date 24th Sep 2000 2 Weeks Official Chart Run 2-2-5-7-12-15-23-30-39-47-64-69-72-71-71- (15 weeks) Next up an absolute bomb from Munich’s Splank!, real name Florian Senfter, and his techno and electro project Zombie Nation. ‘Kernkraft 400’ (translated as ‘Nuclear Power 400’ in English) first appeared, in its original version on an underground 5 track EP released in Germany and Italy in 1999. The melody is based on the 1984 Commodore 64 computer game 'Lazy Jones' theme called ‘Star Dust’. DJ Gius aka Technoboy is an Italian hard house DJ and producer by the name of Cristiano Giusberti. His remix of ‘Kernkraft 400’ was absolutely CREAMED over the summer of 2000 on the continent. With demand building 3 different import versions charted at #61 (82-61-99-), #102 and #141 in the month before release. Upon release ‘Kernkraft 400’ shifted 67k to reach #2, suffering the indignity of being blocked from #1 by a horrific Westlife and Mariah Carey Phil Colins cover  . Zombie Nation remains a one hit wonder to this day  , but if you’re only going to have one you might as well have one as banging as this. ~SICK~

Loved Modjo at the time (weirdly it didn't get to #1 on my personal chart - it was blocked by Dandy Warhols "Bohemian Like You") - it holds nostalgic memories for me now.
Zombie Nation did go to #1 for me in what was a very dance heavy chart with Delirium's "Silence" at 2 (Former #1), Sonique, the aforementioned Modjo, Aurora (not that one), Sasha/Emerson and Azzido Da Bass. |

Ladyis a very good song but I wouldn't quite put it my top, top bracket. Definitely puts a smile on my face when it comes on of course but it's just a bit too all at one level if you get what I'm saying? I generally (not always) prefer songs that build up to something & just don't get that with Lady.
Speaking of which I would have much, much preferred Sonique's Sky to have been #1 this week... Kernkraft though oh my word yes  without a doubt one of the best songs to hear in club & most definitely in my top 100 songs of all time.

Never really liked the Modjo track. I should do as it is funky house but I am more into the sort of funky house with the retro style disco vocals and the epic disco string effects than the more modern type in Lady (Hear Me Tonight). At its best funky hoise can rival the power of trance (eg. Freemasons Watchin with its epic string effects throughout the song) but Lady (Hear Me Tonight) is just boring for me. I agree with Dobbo it is too flat.
The Kernkraft one is very good though. Dont remember it at the time though (unsurprising as I wasnt into hard dance at the time) |
