    Michael Mann Wave

    There's some decent songs in Michael Mann films, not just the Tangerine Dream soundtracks but assorted 80s stuff. I found the band Shriekback today, but then it dawned on me, there's loads of stuff like that from the 80s. You just have to think of a term and put 'wave' after it on YouTube and it...

    Sundissential?

    I never went though there were the same people who went to techno or goth places in Birmingham that did. Anyone on here go? If so what were the big tunes? Or Hard House in general?

    Films you haven't seen yet...

    ... because you think you'll only mildly enjoy them? I'm about halfway through Papillon and it's alright so far but only just. Then I have Cool Hand Luke lined up to watch with my sister but not exactly enthralled by the trailer.

    Rare groove

    Now that everything is on YouTube, and one of the criteria to be Rare Groove is that it's hard to source, does it still exist?

    Joseph L. Mankiewicz

    Why is he such a famed screenwriter? I've seen Somewhere in the Night recently and that gives me a clue, but haven't seen anything else for years so can't remember!

    Spring 25

    I've done a few lists before that have never really worked out. That's not to say this one won't fail either, but it's worth a try? To try and save a wall of YouTube I'll try and write something about each track. I call it a spring 25, but that's only because the month of spring is on us, not...

    Is disco cancelled?

    Funk got cancelled but what about disco? Here's 10 or so from me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUAjlpgfNIc Sorry if there's already a disco thread.

    Riots

    Ever been involved in a Riot? I have only ever witnessed one. Handsworth 2005. I was holed up in my mate Harnaik's (RIP to cancer age mid 30s) house with a big Staffy/Labrador cross dog. Saw a few cars get torched.

    Ambient Techno

    The less beats the better? Anyone got any tunes to recommend? You will have heard all these before but for me it's one of the best kinds of ambient music, still with a wide eyed 7am feel.

    Dolphin sounds

    Just been listening to this CC Classic. I thought, that's good! It sounds like a dolphin, kind of. Then I thought about other tunes that have dolphin type sounds. I won't mention the Burial effort, but there's always Aquarius - The Dolphin Tune, but I think a couple of Seba efforts like...

    Cars

    What's the most 'rude boy' car you've owned or driven? I was chatting about it elsewhere when an overpriced Cosworth came up for sale. I said Cosworths, Imprezas, Lancers, Novas, Renault 5s were all rude cars when I was a kid. My Mk2 MR2 cost less then 3k. Sold it to a kid in Derby and within a...

    Chipmunk vocals?

    Like them or not? What are good old school examples other than Finest Illusion? I like Bay B Kane - Because of U. Sure there's more! Jog my memory please, folks?

    Woke

    I am fed up of people complaining about woke. I chat to a lot of the older generations in particular, and they moan on a daily basis about wokeness and snowflakes. What can we put this phenomenon down to? I think the right wing press and other organisations (I won't say Deep State organisations)...

    Electrifying Mojo

    There's not all that many recordings of his mixes available that I know of but I think I like the legend of them just as much, it's the same with Ken Collier. It's easy for me to fill in the blanks of stuff he could have played but probably didn't. What else could he have played?

    The Human League

    I've never listened to much by this group but occasionally hear something I like. I like the darker stuff like below, where's best to start?

    Electronic Rhythm Trax

    For want of a better thread title I suppose you call these records DJ Tools or Battle Recorrds? There's loads of them. This one is a fav. Has the swooshing 'Detroit' synth as well as the drums. This one I'd like to hear Fusi One as apparently it's the Was Dog a Donut? beat. By the same...

    Cheesy House Samples

    Just a little playlist I put together of some of the cheesiest, some may say still decent, but certainly well known house music samples. DJ Koze - Pick Up Arman Van Helden - You Don’t Know Me Modjo - Lady Hear Me Tonight Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You The Bucketheads - The...
