another beautiful, hopeful 80s track:

Sterling Void & Paris Brightledge - It's All Right

released in 87, originally titled 'It's All Right' but later releases have it as 'It's Alright', another one produced (and co-written) by the legendary Marshall Jefferson

covered in 89 by the Pet Shop Boys

in the beginning, acid did not exist.

Phuture - Acid Tracks

imagine hearing this the first time in a dark club. when nobody had ever heard anything like it before. surely the roof would have been torn off the place.

mind. blown.

it's not a song, it's brutal, it's incredible. one of the most important records of the last 50 years.

on the flip of Acid Tracks was this:

Phuture - Phuture Jacks

much less well-known than Acid Tracks i guess. not even sure i heard it many times before. but this has more of a groove / funk than the rawness of the a-side.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD6HgPSjep8

also on the b-side of Acid Tracks was this:

Phuture - Your Only Friend

dark, frightening, melancholy. vocals imagine cocaine talking to the listener. "in the end, i'll be your only friend".

Robert Hood is the godfather of minimal techno

in the early 10s, awakened by a religious vision, he produced a few gospel-style house infused with his minimal techno vibes under the alias Floorplan

in the late 10s he revived the alias, along with his daughter Lyric

during the first lockdown, 2020, Vinyl Fanatiks put out a free album. Hardcore Lockdown.

whole album is worth a listen, like a snapshot of expression in those dark days. don't think it's free anymore though.

this is probably my favourite track from it:

Silver Fox - Gunman

just sick, so good. hard breakbeats, filthy synths, pure raving energy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv2Sk0FzXr0

from darkness into light...

Tone Def and Ci Ci Hunter - You Got It

first up for no real reason but got to start somewhere

Delerium - Heaven's Earth (Matt Darey Remix) (2000)
