Dexy's Midnight Runners Review / The Shamen Preview (Album 11)

(Dexy's preview here) What up everybody. Hope things are going well.
Alright enough chit-chat. This is business. 10 Albums done already. Only...990 to go. Dexy's Midnight Runners is a band I had never heard of before. But I think that I can tell you why. My music taste is based a lot on my fathers, as I may have said before. And...This is nothing like anything he has listened to before. Probably, again, because there is a lot of foreign music in this book. And this album falls directly into that category. I like some of the music, groovy and jam-tastic, but the main singers voice didn't do it for me. Too British or something. It wasn't as powerful as I thought it should have been or could have been. I do like the horn section during many of the songs though, they add something that is missing from a lot of music these days: music.

Favorite Songs:
     The Team That Met In The Caffs [Mostly Instrumental]
     Love Part One [Monologue]

The 90s, aka the oddest decade of the 90s.

Album: En-Tact

Artist: The Shamen

Release Year: 1990

"The Shamen combined underground dance culture with pop sensibility, resulting in 100,000 sales of their 1990 album En-Tact. A coded love letter to the joys of extacy, it led to one million album sales in the UK alone. In retrospect, time has been kinder to En-Tact's more innocent, less earnest dance anthems." - Andy Pickering

01 - Human NRG

02 - Pro-Gen (Land Of Oz Mix)

03 - Possible Words

04 - Omega Amigo (Steve Osbourne Mix)

Derek and The Dominos Review / Dexy's Midnight Runners Preview (Album 10)

(Derek preview here) So the Derek and the Dominos album is legit. It's interesting to hear and Eric Clapton album before "Clapton is God" really happened. Which was around the late 70s I believe. He still carries his signature sound (awesome guitar, whether it be a riff or a solo or just background melody) and when the time is right he sings. This album is interesting because there are other people involved and showcased; unlike what a regular Clapton album would be like.

Favorite songs:
     Keep On Growing
     Key to the Highway
     Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad
     Layla

Yuck. just kidding. More 80s goodness:

Album: Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Artist: Dexy's Midnight Runners

Release Year: 1980

"This inaugral LP proved just as strong, opening with the sound of a radio swithcing channels before a cry of "For God's sake burn it down" kicks things off. The track was a reworking of debut single "Dance Stance," Rowland's angry diatribe against anti-Irish jokes. Welcome to the new soul vision indeed." - Jon Harrington

02 - Tell Me When My Light Turns Green

03 - The Team That Meet In Caffs

04 - I'm Just Looking

05 - Geno

06 - Seven Days Too Long

07 - I Couldn't Help It If I Tried

08 - Thankfully Not Living In New Yorkshire It Doesn't Apply

09 - Keep It

10 - Love Part One

11 - There, There, My Dear
