June 13, 20232 yr Wow, that Texas track unlocked a memory. Probably haven't listened to that since I got the album in 1999 but I immediately recall Sharleen's falsetto-only verses.
June 13, 20232 yr ^yes please, best album of the 90s hands down <3 Seriously underrated album. I don't understand how it hasn't become a word of mouth success - such is the breath of styles and textures on it.
June 14, 20232 yr Crikey, the Nena song has the exact same melody as Come With Me by Special D…I didn’t realise that track used a melody sample. That’s my ‘today I learnt’ then!

June 14, 20232 yr Author ^^ And growing up I used to listen to Blümchen 'Nur Geträumt' before I realized it was a cover :kink: vSfVfVvYstg
June 14, 20232 yr Author and speaking of listen through, it will happen around 8:30PM...sorry for the slight delay but unexpected zoom meeting just happened to be scheduled from 2PM-3PM and I can't miss it. I'll be ready for 3:30PM start though. (which it makes me think, do I need any special access to be able to play the songs?)
June 14, 20232 yr Tomorrow works well for me for a listenthrough :jump: Siouxsie And The Banshees was actually the first band that came to mind for me for this theme so not surprised to see them showing up here (looking forward to hearing that song), several other pretty obvious names here as well, although I think the only song I've actually heard already is the Shakespears Sister one from the album listenthrough we did earlier in the year. (Speaking of, is there any plan for those to return at some point? :thinking:) I've actually got one lined up too, played it in the car the other day and thought "oh yes people need to hear it" if they havent already (older folks def will have, younger ones not so sure)...
June 15, 20232 yr voted. I wanted to vote for at least 18 songs. A few I didn't know got points so nice to hear some good new to me stuff as well as old big faves.
June 15, 20232 yr Author I've edited the part where the deadline is and that you have to sent your votes to me by PM. So far I have 5 votes and couple of songs are really getting votes from everyone...especially one it seems to runaway (I know it's early stages but still).
June 16, 20232 yr Another sample I didn't know about was Jakatta's So Lonely sampling the Monsson entry. This contest is one big discovery! Edited June 16, 20232 yr by Dobbo.
June 18, 20232 yr Voted! There wasn't one song I disliked. Some tracks which I already knew (and was certain would make my votes) ended up missing out. A couple of all time faves and some wonderful new discoveries here.
June 18, 20232 yr Voted too. A really good contest, a few I haven't heard in years that it was nice to rediscover, a few I've heard in different guises/samples over the years, some brand new discoveries - the whole lot!
June 18, 20232 yr Author thank you everyone who have submitted votes so far...the rest of you have 6 more days to submit your votes :cheer:
June 18, 20232 yr I’ve voted too - was a great contest. Just annoyed at myself for not choosing better and the inevitable floppage.
June 19, 20232 yr Voted. As always, a great selection of songs in the retro contest and there were some that I couldn't give points to.
