Some great music from the 80s, no.28

Paul Hardcastle. 19

Yesterday's choice, reminded me of this other classic of cut-up, Paul Hardcastle's more political stomper focussing on the age of US soldiers in Vietnam (using a documentary narration as its source). Now we might question its political thrust, but the stuttering (n..n...n...nineteen) ended up being pretty influential. Maybe not a timeless record, but an interesting production time-capsule, evocative of a moment.

@ChrisMayLA6 It's still seeing homages: DJ Hell released a single a year or so ago called "Ukraine" which samples it extensively, and adds Zelenskyy. (Worth a listen.)
