(apologies if this is the wring you tube clip, I cant hear it at work) Got this on vinyl... amazing remix... The guy was as gay as they come but knew his synths.

Was going to post the Erasure track you'd posted earlier, thought I might get a slaughtering for it though... Cracking tune though! The 80's were nowhere near as bad musically as some would make out. I grew up through that decade and there's a lot more stuff that I recall fondly from that era than the 90's. Also, Pet Shop Boys rule!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, like me, you owned "Sugarhill Club Classics" you would know that. You'd say it's more from the early Rap/Hip-Hop genre, but the synth sounds in 'The Message' could surely to some extent see it fairly labelled as 'electronic'... maybe?

Therapist Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 but the synth sounds in 'The Message' could surely to some extent see it fairly labelled as 'electronic'... maybe? You know your music.

Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 You know your music. But there's no doubt it's hip-hop/rap rather than electro. As someone who so obviously knows about music you'd know that the early hip-hop scene in Detroit was hugely influenced by the beats/sounds of early electronica. These two songs were often the backing tracks to early hip-hop. Gary Numan - Films (from the John Peel sessions) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JpSf34ileYs Gary Numan - Metal http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cjQYILB7N7U&feature=related Basically I'm using any excuse to post more Gary Numan tracks.
