Tag: I want tomorrow.

It’s been a while since I did a Deep Dive, but I finally got round to do another one, this time the joy of being bored in the 1980's waiting for a loading screen, disco (sorry 'jazz-funk' *cough*) on the radio, feeling like you are a robot in a robot's world. You might think boredom is a bad thing, but it can actually be good for you! So, in this episode, I play a mix of songs from the ironic indie pop of Bis to the exotic Turkish folk of Istanbul Sarkicilari and Istanbul Calgicilari, from the soulful disco of Flaming Ember and glam stomp of Raffaella Carra to the futuristic drum and bass of Cyantific and Culture Shock. And err...disco Sound of Music? Anyone? You cannot be bored with that! Also it's the shorted episode I've done in years...so bonus! RTape Loading Error: Boredom Could Not Be Booted.

Hewson, who is Hunger For Your Jungle Love, I own, Going Up, that's 00:25:08.760 --> 00:25:09.760from 1983. 00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:14.140It's actually quite a rare bit of vinyl now, but you can get arrested lugging that kind 00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:19.340of music in the mid-80s, heard them via Clouds Across the Mood in '85, and went, "Ooh!" 00:25:19.340 --> 00:25:27.140and then got the best of and then delved back and found the crunch and all of those wonderful 00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:28.140things. 00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:32.020But for a long time, you can get arrested for disco that cheesy, but I love it. 00:25:32.020 --> 00:25:36.580I love the synths and the vocodas and the "Sam the Samba Man" and "Hunger for Your 00:25:36.580 --> 00:25:40.400Jungle Love." 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.120And then before that, we had a bit of a borrowing the title of a few Twitch streams, Disco After 00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:52.080Dark, more chilled disco thing going on, very much late disco, quite a lot of it. 00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:55.800They probably call themselves Jazz Funk, that's what RAH Band got branded. 00:25:55.800 --> 00:25:58.680Jazz Funk, because they didn't want to use the D word. 00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:04.600That's Surface with "Falling in Love" original mix from 1983 again, the surface were a very, 00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:05.600very good group. 00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:10.340The mold of Change and a few others, there was quite a few survivors of the Disco Crash 00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:16.780who kind of went into different directions, but a bit like High Energy or Jazz Funk, Disco 00:26:16.780 --> 00:26:21.580kept going, it just got rebranded, and it tended to slow down a bit, because things 00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:26.700were getting 120, 130, unless it was High Energy, but a lot of the Jazz Funk slowed 00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:31.260it down a little bit and rebranded itself, but it's Disco, I mean Jazz Plus Funk, what 00:26:31.260 --> 00:26:32.260is that? 00:26:32.260 --> 00:26:33.260Disco. 00:26:33.260 --> 00:26:39.500And then before that we had Flaming Ember from 1969, that's Robot in a Robot's World, 00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:44.200Holland Dozier Holland written, that's a B-side actually, from the things that's good to show 00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.940you this whole sort of AI, oh, robots are taking our jobs, it's not a new thing. 00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:54.140Then before that from 1980, we have, and this is going to be fun to pronounce, Koroglu 00:26:54.140 --> 00:27:04.380Daglari (Sark Bülbülü ) by Istanbul Sarkicilari and Istanbul Calgicilari I think, and that's 00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:12.300from one of the Disco Fassl, Disco Folk compilations from 1980, well sampled, you've 00:27:12.300 --> 00:27:17.060probably heard that in samples, there was a few people who were sampling that and other 00:27:17.060 --> 00:27:26.260tracks from the series, sort of Turkish synth Disco, Koroglu Daglari is Koryaglu Mountains, 00:27:26.260 --> 00:27:31.380which are in the north of Turkey, so I assume it's a song about that material, or a lot 00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:35.620of the Disco Fasil stuff was traditional songs, but don't know the Disco style. 00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:40.660And at the start of the session we had Rosebud with Money from 1977, and we're going to play 00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:48.820a track by Raffaella Carra, more known for Eurovision, set again with love and you know, 00:27:48.820 --> 00:27:54.340thinks she won Eurovision or something, was higher and Ducky plays Raffaella Carra songs 00:27:54.340 --> 00:28:01.380quite a lot, including this one, and this is a Italian classic from 1974, this is Rumore. 00:54:37.380 --> 00:54:45.620That was Sheila, as in Sheila B. Devotion, with Hotel de la Plage, 00:54:45.620 --> 00:54:51.300Ou et la plume de ma tante, so that's 1978. A good year for disco, a very good year for disco. 00:54:51.300 --> 00:54:56.420Then before that we had, not disco, that was Acidulant with Who's The Gangster In You, 00:54:56.420 --> 00:55:05.860from 2020's MetroJax 4.3 via Balkan Vinyl, and we had a bit of a DJ no-no mix into Harmony Cats, 00:55:05.860 --> 00:55:12.500Yes, Harmony Cats, the Brazilian disco stars, That's Entertainment. 00:55:12.500 --> 00:55:19.300Seems to be a medley of film tracks, there's Cabaret there, but the real reason I play it is 00:55:19.300 --> 00:55:26.420disco Sound of Music. Seriously, why has no one done that? Why has no one done a whole disco album 00:55:26.420 --> 00:55:31.620of Sound of Music? Trust me on this, it'll be brilliant. I might be the only person who buys 00:55:31.620 --> 00:55:38.420it, but it'll be brilliant. Then before that we had Eartha Kitt with Bronski Beat, although that's 00:55:38.420 --> 00:55:47.700Jon Boy, Jon Boy, that famous Bronski Beat queer Waltons, actually it's not complete off track, 00:55:47.700 --> 00:55:53.540because the grandfather and the Waltons was gay anyway. No, Jon Jon, it's post 00:55:54.180 --> 00:56:01.940Jimmy Somerville leaving, but yeah, that's Cha Cha Heels, and that's a camp Classic. And of course, 00:56:01.940 --> 00:56:09.700again, I haven't locked that one up. I think it's 1988, but I might be wrong. 1989. Then before that 00:56:09.700 --> 00:56:18.260we had SL2 with DJs Take Control, but that's the Shadow Child remix from 2018. And then before 00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:25.860that we had another pronunciation fun. This is Ooh oOh!, channeling Michael Zager Band or stealing Michael Zager Band. 00:56:25.860 --> 00:56:36.900That's Istanbul Sarkicilari & Istanbul Calgicilari from 1978. ayva cicek acmis, I think. 00:56:36.900 --> 00:56:44.980Apologies to anybody Turkish listening to this. I mean, I had to put the titles into a normal 00:56:44.980 --> 00:56:50.660character set because actually, track to us is like, no, no, it's all those sort of special 00:56:50.660 --> 00:56:56.180umlauts and track to us like, no, I'm not even going to read this title. And in the start section 00:56:56.180 --> 00:57:01.860we had Raffaella Carra with 1974's Rumore, which sounds really, that sounds disco, doesn't it? 00:57:01.860 --> 00:57:06.580It sounds like disco glam. This looks glam in there. It's a bit rocky music. It's very cool. 00:57:06.580 --> 00:57:14.820And yes, we're going to sort of up the BPMs a bit. And I'm going to play some German bass at 00:57:14.820 --> 00:57:20.820you. And you have no choice in this. And we have a couple of fairly recent other, I think the cut 00:57:20.820 --> 00:57:27.700of point for this mix was 2020, whereas the next bunch is going to be pretty much until, you know, 00:57:27.700 --> 00:57:33.060up to the point I moved all move the tracks over, which I think was a year ago, especially as I 00:57:33.060 --> 00:57:37.140hang you onto this for, I don't know, a year and a half. I think it's been two years, but may as 00:57:37.140 --> 00:57:42.580well do some a few newer tracks and old tracks. But yeah, that was my cutoff point about a year ago 00:57:42.580 --> 00:57:48.180for when I moved over to the NAS drive. And this is Cyantific with Wild Child. 01:30:49.140 --> 01:30:57.300That was Enya. I usually can't play Enya 01:30:57.300 --> 01:31:04.020because she's on a Universal label, but it turns out this first album is called The Celts. 01:31:04.020 --> 01:31:10.900It was re-released as Enya in 1987, but originally it was in I think '85 or '86, a BBC's The Celts 01:31:10.900 --> 01:31:15.540soundtrack. And that's off that, that's I Want Tomorrow. And it's all there, isn't it? Proto, 01:31:15.540 --> 01:31:23.940Enya, it's the CLannad, the DX7, the slide guitar isn't unusual, doing a solo version of Clannad 01:31:23.940 --> 01:31:30.900stuff, but with more synthesizers. Then before that we had Phainopepla, and it's the name of a 01:31:30.900 --> 01:31:37.540bird, I don't know how to pronounce it. With Atmosphere, Joy Division's Atmosphere, and that's from 01:31:37.540 --> 01:31:45.2202018's EP The Wolf at My Door. And I know very little about, almost nothing about Phainopepla, 01:31:45.220 --> 01:31:52.500apart from it being a bird. And it's a solo project of somebody called Holly Springhorn. 01:31:52.500 --> 01:32:01.220It says here on Bandcamp, but really brilliant. I was like opera version, very operatic version 01:32:02.020 --> 01:32:09.460of Joy Division, so I love that greatly. Then before that, that's Amii Stewart with Don't Ever 01:32:09.460 --> 01:32:18.660Let Me Hear You Say Goodbye. Bit of a long title. Really, it's by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, 01:32:18.660 --> 01:32:27.140who played quite a lot of their soundtracks. Italian juicers did a lot of giallo and Italian TV 01:32:27.140 --> 01:32:35.140soundtracks. And that's from 1979's Killer Fish, Aguato Sul Fondo, it says it, in getting into 01:32:35.140 --> 01:32:40.900that whole barracuda killer fish. You know, there was a whole load of them. I've not seen the film, 01:32:40.900 --> 01:32:44.820but I love that soundtrack. There's something very interesting about slowing it down. I mean, 01:32:44.820 --> 01:32:49.300I do like that sort of slow disco, or I don't even recall it, it's not really disco at that point, 01:32:49.300 --> 01:32:55.620but yeah, sort of the slow ballads of disco. There's Discord in that, obviously because it's a horror 01:32:55.620 --> 01:33:03.060film. It sounds quite a spooky thing, so it's like spooky disco. Yes. And then before that, 01:33:03.060 --> 01:33:08.180we had a version of what playing in the background. They Long To Be Close To You. In fact, am I? 01:33:08.180 --> 01:33:13.700Is this actually the same backing? Maybe it is. Which I use as a bed all the time. It's Aleksander 01:33:13.700 --> 01:33:19.220Mazur Quartet & Novi Singers. I think it is this version. Why am I using it as a bed again? 01:33:20.420 --> 01:33:28.500You hear it again. You will hear it to the end of time. And I used to hate jazz, but you know, 01:33:28.500 --> 01:33:37.620Carpenters, hello. And then before that, we had Velvet Chain, Beat Box (Diversion 2) from 2004's 01:33:37.620 --> 01:33:42.820The Abduction of the Art of Noise. It's a cover of Beatbox 2. Again, I can't play the originals 01:33:43.460 --> 01:33:52.180because ZZT is now a part of Universal. Here it is. Am I playing this as a bed? Because this is 01:33:52.180 --> 01:33:58.180the thing. There were several things in that last mix. Well, actually, our beds on this podcast, 01:33:58.180 --> 01:34:04.900I don't feel they get enough love. So hence playing them. And in fact, I suspect being in this mix 01:34:04.900 --> 01:34:10.900predates them becoming beds on Radio Clash. So they were here first. So even though I'm playing it 01:34:10.900 --> 01:34:19.860after many times using them in the background. And then before the Velvet Chain, we had Ihsan 01:34:19.860 --> 01:34:26.340Al Munzer with the The Joy of Lina (Farha) from, well, I don't know when it originally came out, from 01:34:26.340 --> 01:34:31.7802015's Habibi Funk compilation. But that, again, is another one of the beds that I use regularly 01:34:31.780 --> 01:34:40.180on Radio Clash. But it's a track I really love. And you can tell from the last three of these 01:34:41.060 --> 01:34:47.780Arabic funk and disco were playing heavily on my mind. And there was lots of it in the archives. 01:34:47.780 --> 01:34:53.300Still is a lot of it. It's interesting how these things go through phases, how I go through phases 01:34:53.300 --> 01:35:00.820of really getting into, say, Japanese classical covers or Arabic funk or Turkish disco or, you 01:35:00.820 --> 01:35:05.140know, that kind of thing. And so it's very telling and go through some go, oh, yeah, this was this. 01:35:05.140 --> 01:35:10.020That's when I was doing a lot of Eastern block covers as well. Hence the Novi singers who were 01:35:10.020 --> 01:35:18.900Polish. And then before the Joy of Lena, we had Nino Nardini with Tropicola from 1972's Mindbender. 01:35:18.900 --> 01:35:25.940Nino Nardini, is that Roger Roger? It's one of those people who has lots of aliases and does a lot 01:35:25.940 --> 01:35:33.940of library music. Came from the Exotica world and then was doing more electronic stuff later on. 01:35:34.660 --> 01:35:42.660Pre all of that, I think. And has done quite atonal startling stuff. But also quite like 01:35:42.660 --> 01:35:49.300their traditional stuff, but very, very lovely. Exotica mixes very well, I think, from Drum and 01:35:49.300 --> 01:35:56.740Bass. It's a double time thing. So before that, we had Culture Shock with Renaissance from 2019's 01:35:57.460 --> 01:36:04.500RAM Drum and Bass annual 2020. And then before that, we had Cyantific with Wild Child, a cover 01:36:04.500 --> 01:36:12.820of Just Be Good to Me. And that's from 2018's Bloodline. And yeah, I was very much into Culture 01:36:12.820 --> 01:36:17.860Shock at that time, I remember. Because I do these things so far in the future, and it'll 01:36:17.860 --> 01:36:22.660be the same with the new ones, though obviously there will not be all Arabic disco, be of some, 01:36:23.220 --> 01:36:30.180but it's not going to be as prevalent. Because as I say, things shift and so the new stuff is 01:36:30.180 --> 01:36:36.340very much my take on what I've got in my archive collection. So it's kind of several levels. You 01:36:36.340 --> 01:36:41.460have like, when I choose the tracks, and when I choose them for a podcast, and when sometimes they 01:36:41.460 --> 01:36:47.860get like some of these, especially the last three of these, a lot of things are things I've been 01:36:47.860 --> 01:36:51.060taking in and out. And they're just like a little bit too long, a little bit too strange, a little 01:36:51.060 --> 01:36:59.140bit too, you know, and I don't like shaving off the edges of the podcast. So hence why sometimes 01:36:59.140 --> 01:37:04.820I leave them in. And hence why sometimes I do podcasts like this where I'm intentionally not 01:37:04.820 --> 01:37:10.660shaving off the weird bits, and going more into deeper dive into things. And it's really interesting 01:37:10.660 --> 01:37:15.860there's quite a lot of mashups in the next Deep Dives, a lot more than they have been in the last 01:37:15.860 --> 01:37:22.580three. So there's more mashups mixed in. Because as time goes on, it's stuff which is for a long 01:37:22.580 --> 01:37:28.340time ago, which is I've completely forgotten about. So anyway, I hope you're all well. I'm okay. I'm 01:37:28.340 --> 01:37:36.900still trying to recover my knee, which according to a friend of mine, it's LCL, the muscles that run 01:37:36.900 --> 01:37:42.740down the back and the thighs, and the back of the knee, or the adductor muscles. I was wondering 01:37:42.740 --> 01:37:49.460if it was a hamstring. And so I've just been doing gentle walking and exercises and trying to get 01:37:49.460 --> 01:37:56.740that back over the last nearly three weeks, trying to get back to normal, because it was just so 01:37:56.740 --> 01:38:01.780painful just just to walk to the shops was really painful. And that's stopped now it's now it'll start 01:38:01.780 --> 01:38:08.740to ache after a while, after a mile or so. So I have to rebuild the strength back up again, and also 01:38:08.740 --> 01:38:12.900try to build more strength into that left knee, because that left knee is weaker than the right. 01:38:12.900 --> 01:38:20.260So I think we won't try and do 15 mile hikes with a heavy rucksack in the future. Not until I've 01:38:20.260 --> 01:38:25.940got better at this. I mean, it's weird because I regularly do walk or regularly have walked, 01:38:25.940 --> 01:38:32.260you know, long distances, just not with all of that weight and pushing myself into that sort of 01:38:32.260 --> 01:38:37.140deadline. So this is crazy. So I've been sort of doing the videos for that for the channel. 01:38:37.140 --> 01:38:44.580And Red Crumplstock did two sets at Crumplstock. I released an album of best mashups of 2023. 01:38:44.580 --> 01:38:50.340You can see that on radioclash.com. And I didn't record my sets, although I think they're still 01:38:50.340 --> 01:38:55.860probably up for 14 days on I don't know if they'll be up by the time I do this, but they were 01:38:55.860 --> 01:39:00.980basically, you know, just playing my mashups. I've done previously there was there wasn't so 01:39:00.980 --> 01:39:07.380much new stuff, although there was the Alexa, Alexa Play Pumped Up Kicks thing, which was 01:39:07.380 --> 01:39:13.700via the PomDeter set. So that led to a mashup, which then became a running thing. Anyway, 01:39:13.700 --> 01:39:20.820so a player with a track, which is very much of a certain time, I think this is Charlotte 01:39:20.820 --> 01:39:28.740Gainsbourg, with a Ring And A Ring Of Roses. And I think I put this in because it is startlingly, 01:39:28.740 --> 01:39:34.500you know, it's 2017 from her album Rest, which is a really good album, by the way. And it's about 01:39:34.500 --> 01:39:39.300various things, but including the death of her half sister was starting when I heard it again, 01:39:39.300 --> 01:39:44.020I think when I put this mix together, because I put this mix together post all the pandemic. 01:39:44.020 --> 01:39:50.500And it seems to be basically about something like that about an emergency situation with 01:39:50.500 --> 01:39:56.420an obviously Ring A Roses about plague. So yeah, it's some very strange lyrics in this. 01:39:56.420 --> 01:39:58.580So anyway, I'll speak to you soon.

Tag: I want tomorrow.
