Posted April 15, 20223 yr vDDvdqJ2y9s Thought I would open a new thread for this after hearing this forgotten gem on TOTP 1991!
April 16, 20223 yr well, the obvious ultimate... bHfrdQ8h2Pw and the unknown future-predicting: t1xOZyBc2Ck
April 17, 20223 yr That's a difficult one to answer. Dance music was changing so quickly in the 90s and at the same time a record would often be played in the clubs for a long time before it would hit the charts.
April 25, 20223 yr In what way exactly? The hallmark of big beat is sampled live drums. Almost all the drums in Pump up the Volume are synth drums or samples of synth drums. Edited April 25, 20223 yr by Colm
April 25, 20223 yr Maybe. But I don't think anyone would support that suggestion. And my original post was in jest, in any case. Not to be taken entirely seriously. It just reminded me of Fatboy Slim.
April 25, 20223 yr Pump Up the Jam and Ride on Time first spring to mind. Wouldn’t have put them as 80s releases.
April 25, 20223 yr In what way exactly? The hallmark of big beat is sampled live drums. Almost all the drums in Pump up the Volume are synth drums or samples of synth drums. Beat Dis by Bomb The Bass is probably the first house hit with a big beat/breakbeat style sample in it (the bit after 'music please')! Although strangely for a non-dance record, Yes' Owner Of A Lonely Heart has a big beat/breakbeat sounding bit in it too in the second half of the song just before the guitar solo.

April 25, 20223 yr I absolutely loved Where Are You Baby! I haven’t heard it for decades but am listening now and I can totally hear Fatboy Slim :lol:

Owner Of A Lonely Heart was produced by Trevor Horn. Some of his Art Of Noise bandmates were also involved in that song and others on the 90125 album which would explain why it has that sort of sound. This leads us on to Close To The Edit by the Art Of Noise which was certainly ahead of its time. -sFK0-lcjGU

April 26, 20223 yr Yes x Betty Boo And big yes x House Arrest posted above, first dance track I properly liked back then Cold Cut also had some great dance tracks around 88-89 i think
April 26, 20223 yr I always thought this beautiful track from 1990 had a very trancey feel especially the section between 1:45-2:05 RFmFkvqPV2A
