June 30, 201510 yr Author The actual original is hard to find. The twee one was called the hip-house mix. The original was even more hip-hop, according to Eurodance Encyclopedia. http://www.eurokdj.com/
June 30, 201510 yr More & More by Captain Hollywood Project was always much better than I Cant Stand it
June 30, 201510 yr Author Much better but I think it was released too late. Eurodance was starting to wane by the end of 1993. I still think it should have been bigger than it was.
June 30, 201510 yr Much better but I think it was released too late. Eurodance was starting to wane by the end of 1993. I still think it should have been bigger than it was. Don't know about that.. there were plenty of big Eurodance hits in 1994 as well. It just kinda slipped through the net I think. La Bouche's Be My Lover is a good example of one that was released too late for the UK I think, in July 1995. It's funny actually how generally speaking, Eurodance hits were either top 10 or bombed altogether or weren't released at all. Not many just went top 30 like those two.

Maybe More and More didn't get the exposure or perhaps people just didn't like it.

July 1, 201510 yr More & More by Captain Hollywood Project was always much better than I Cant Stand it No way!!!
July 1, 201510 yr I always liked 'Only With You' by Captain Hollywood Project, it was easily my favourite single of theirs.
July 1, 201510 yr Author Technotronic - Megamix http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/tonyttt31/013%20Technotronic%20Megamix2.jpg Date 7th Oct 1990 4 Weeks Official Chart Run 12-6-6-9-12-21-37-63(8 weeks) *Positions in red are the weeks when the track would be number 1 if just dance music was chart eligible. Money for old rope? It wouldn't be dance music, otherwise. There were megamixes before this but in 1990 with dance music now ultra-mainstream and dance bands hanging around long enough to have more than 3 hits to their name the megamix matured. The three biggest dance bands of the era (Snap! and Black Box being the other two) all brought out summaries of their slim back catalogue after having merely 4 hits to pick from within 6 months of each other. Technotronic were first out of the traps in Oct 1990 with a mix of their hits. The similarity in their songs lend them to being mixed - in fact This Beat is Technotronic re-uses the synth riff of Pump Up the Jam. The other tracks involved are Get Up (Before the Night is Over) and their previous entry Rockin' Over the Beat. They scattered a few new samples over the four tracks but it's barely done at a perfunctory level. This would be the final time they graced the Top 10 - although they would come close with Move That Body reaching #12 in 1991. viiM_LQYIUA Edited July 3, 201510 yr by AntoineTTe
July 1, 201510 yr Megamixes were certainly the rage in the '90s [after the SAW/dance mixes of '60s songs trend in the late '80s], as also evident by the Boney M and Grease Megamixes in the early '90s too. Good Technotronic mix. :music:
July 1, 201510 yr Author I've made a full length mix of all the Prodigy singles - it lasts over 45 mins.
July 1, 201510 yr That sounds quite interesting actually. Most aren't and like Technotronic are a shameless cash-in in the absense of any original thoughts/ideas.
July 2, 201510 yr Didn't Bass-o-matic get to number one with Fascinating Rhythm then? There's a bit of a surprise.
July 2, 201510 yr Author Didn't Bass-o-matic get to number one with Fascinating Rhythm then? There's a bit of a surprise. It peaked below Groove is in the Heart. So it's not number 1 in this chart nor officially.
July 2, 201510 yr Aha, I've just re-read the rules. Gotcha! At least I know 3am Eternal will definitely be featured now :D
July 2, 201510 yr I didn't read the intro (lazy) and thought these were archived charts from another source.
