QUOTE(The Snake @ Jul 8 2018, 12:21 PM)  There is this synth-heavy song I recently discovered from 1972 by Giorgio Moroder which unfortunately was overshadowed by a more successful soundalike version. Yes, that's a great original version of a great record that I hadn't heard before ! Ta for the link. Chicory Tip got permission to cover it after they heard a pre-release version - and their following singles were also Moroder/Bellotte songs, so the band gave Giorgio a foothold in the biz as writer/producer. I can't understate the impact Son Of My Father had on teens in 1972 - it sounded like nothing before, the sound of the future - at the end of year final lesson in Music at school for the summer break we were allowed to take in our fave singles to play to the whole class. One girl brought in Son Of My Father and it felt cool. I took in the 10-year-old Nut Rocker because it was a classical cover and I loved it, and the reaction was less cool.  Moral: current is always more cool to 14-year-olds than old stuff

QUOTE(Brett-Butler @ Jan 2 2018, 07:26 PM) although it doesn't seem to have pierced the public consciousness as other electronic instrumentals of the same period like "Oxygene Part IV" have. Oxygen Pt4 was the one I was going to mention!

Continuing with my theory that all genres of popular music had been invented by 1968...
50-year-old trip hop house 90's a quarter of a century early.... |

Funnily enough, I used to think in 2006 that this song sounded like it was from 1999, but if anything, it sounds like it should be from 2008-2010.

QUOTE(Steve201 @ Jul 7 2018, 08:44 PM) I always thought Temptation by Heaven 17 sounded very 90s when I first heard it on totp due to the female vocalist! This too sounds rather 90s dance I think, for similar reasons! |

This song from 1979 almost sounds like it could be an early-00s pop punk song!

I can't believe this was recorded in 1959 sounds very advanced/eclectic compared to what I know of 50s music."this is animal collective 40+ years before animal collective" (The Beatles - 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is always the first example that comes to my head with this question but I see that was already mentioned <3) |

Just putting this here. I know I mentioned it somewhere else but this is sounds so much like a Fatboy Slim song half a decade before he sounded like this. |

gotta love Betty Boo <3
I just randomly heard St Etienne - Nothing can stop us, and to me it also sounds more modern for their time (1991 I think) |
