If you were a man (or a woman) with a briefcase and a bowler hat in the UK in the early 1980's dancing was a problem. The sensibilities of punk remained but there was a growing recognition that there should be more to dancing than jumping up and down. Then along came Fascist Groove Thang, it pressed all the right buttons. Politically 'the democrats are out of power' was causing people to worry about the US in the same way as they do today, not least the great BBC radio 1 who banned it from play. It was funky but not tainted by disco and it was most definitely cool without really trying. (We don't need this) Fascist Groove Thang was the first single released by Heaven 17, perhaps the huge impact the song made on those who danced to it is not so surprising when one considers that two of the three band members, Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware, were founder members of the Human League. Together with Glenn Gregory they drew on their love of US funk such as Funcadelic and Parliament and more common student fodder such as Bowie and Roxy Music, and combined this with that mascot of early eighties pop the synthesiser. Heaven 17 went on to fuse funk and pop through a series of vital 80's albums and singles gaining several chart successes and cult status along the way. For the pre MTV generation who religiously watched Top of the Pops every week, just the titles of some of their biggest hits, Come Live With Me, At The Height Of The Fighting and of course, Temptation are enough to start their toes tapping. Heaven 17 continued making albums throughout the eighties and into the 90s. Their influence has been felt not just in the beat of their records but also the beat of collaboration with key soul artists such as Tina Turner, Chaka Kahn and Mavis Staples. And this could have been the final paragraph but in 1997 Heaven 17 did their groove thing live for the first time and they loved it, so.....

Before/After songs
$21.35 "I Feel Loved" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Awards for Best Dance Recording and for Best Remixed Recording.
With all its understated vocals, hushed instrumentals, and lyrical declarations of/investigations into love, EXCITER is undoubtedly the warmest and most "adult" Depeche Mode album to date. "When the Body Speaks" is an effectively poignant ballad complete with graceful string section. "Lovetheme" is a gentle ambient instrumental that wouldn't sound out of place next to any German electronicat you care to mention. Later another, slightly more melodic, instrumental ("Easy Tiger") pops up. "Goodnight Lovers" is a bittersweet tune full of open-hearted sentiment and heart-tugging melodicism.

| | Paul Van Dyk In Between CDs (2007) Limited Edition
Before/After album
$13.89 After a few genre-hopping pop-crossover albums, trance master Paul Van Dyk makes a strong return to form on the decidedly genre-specific IN BETWEEN. Consisting of a seamlessly segued program of original songs that ebb and flow with all the nuanced subtlety of a finely crafted DJ-mix, the album showcases more pop-oriented vocal tracks, as well as the sweeping, synthesized orchestrations of progressive trance. Featuring guest appearances by singer-songwriter Ashley Tomberlin and Pussycat Doll Jessica Sutta, IN BETWEEN is an ear-catching blend of seductive female vocals and driving club beats.
In Between, Paul van Dyk's first studio album in four years, and only his second in seven, was certainly a long time coming. In fact, it was questionable whether another studio album would come at all. A lot changed over that span of time in terms of musical trends -- the rise (and descent) of Microhouse, for instance ...
| | Portishead Dummy CD (1994)
Before/After CD music
$11.49 Named for a town near Bristol, England, Portishead is a British dance band that grabs ideas from all over the mod pop world (spaghetti Western guitars, turntable scratching, melancholy soul vocals, atmospheric organs, house beats) and stirs them into spacey, dub-like productions that sound like a dance club in the middle of a "Twin Peaks" dream. You could call it surreal hip-hop pop. ...
