Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome
"The
entire first side of the LP version. "Faultless
tour de force from Frankie and Horn's t(h)eam,
the best intro to any album ever, sadly the rest
of the record couldn't live up to this monumental
piece however hard it tried."
02.
Grace Jones - Slave To The Rhythm
"Incredible
biographical concept/remix album based around
one song, everything you'd want from a classic
ZTT record plus Trouble Funk thrown in on percussion."
03.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes (Annihilation/Video
Destructo)
"Expectation
was high and this track and it's subsequent mixes
more than delivered with a video to match. The
looping, doomy piano and spoken word warnings
redefined what a 12" could be and the 'scratched'
news footage in the video took it a step further."
04.
Art of Noise - Close Up/Closed Up (Hop)
"'Beatbox'
and 'Close (to the edit)' twisted into previously
uncharted territory, their finest moments..."
05.
Propaganda - Dr Mabuse (Das Testaments Des Mabuse
- The Third Side)
"Epic
12" version of the debut single that conjurers
up all kinds of cinematic imagery as it stomps
to it's tragic finale."
06.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (Original 16
minute Sex Mix)
"So
out there and dislocated from the version we all
know and love, a peek into Frankie before Horn.
A bridge between the original demo, the Blockheads
version and the mutant NY disco of the early 80's."
07.
808 State - The Extended Pleasure of Dance EP
"An
incredible 3 track 12" with 808 State at the height
of their powers, dodgy edits and random arrangements
just make it all the more exciting."
08.
Art of Noise - Beatbox (Diversion 1)
"The
best sounding drum machine in the world with everything
thrown into the mix on top, tennis matches, car
screeches, bubblng water and a snatch of Toto's
'Rosanna' to boot."
09.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (7" version)
"A
10 out of 10 perfect pop song, when I first heard
it I played it repeatedly as it was one of the
most exciting records I'd ever heard."
10.
Propaganda - Duel (Bitter Sweet)
"Again,
perfect pop, and THAT piano solo..."
